Christmas tree ornament: the Virginia state capitol depicted in gingerbread, icing, and candyGive the perfect gift to the history lover in your life so they can explore the diverse and ever-changing story of Virginia. When you purchase a gift membership to the VMHC, you are giving the gift of history!

LIMITED TIME GIFT MEMBERSHIP PROMOTION: When you purchase a gift of membership plus the 2023 Official Virginia History Ornament (included in cost below), you will receive an additional ornament for yourself at no extra charge. 

About the ornament: The Official 2023 Virginia History Christmas Ornament features a whimsical, holiday interpretation of the Capitol of Virginia, an historic structure located in Richmond, Virginia, depicted in gingerbread, icing, and candy. The real Capitol of Virginia has been home to the Virginia General Assembly since 1788. The central portion of its current structure was built using plans provided by Virginian Thomas Jefferson, who took inspiration for the design from the Maison Carrée, an ancient Roman temple in Nîmes, France, that he observed while serving as United States Minister to France in 1785.
