Did you know that Virginia was the birthplace of religious freedom in America? 🕊️

Hanover County was home to dissenters who advocated for separation from the Anglican Church of England. Hanover Meeting House, now known as Historic Polegreen Church Foundation , helped establish the right for people to worship freely in Virginia, long before the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.

Walk the religious freedom walk at Historic Polegreen Church and explore where history unfolded.
