KWCHS Mission
The King William County Historical Society was formed in 1973 to preserve and promote the unique heritage and rich history of King William County, Virginia through education, research, and restoration of historically significant landmarks.
Our mission is to collect, interpret, and preserve those things relative to the history of the county while acting as caretaker of artifacts from the lives and traditions of the people who have gone before us.
To this end our efforts are wide ranging, including our publications, operating the county historical museum, and the stabilization and restoration of King William landmarks such as the Old Jail, Lanesville Christadelphian Church, and Acquinton Church.
Membership is open to all who share a passion for history, a reverence for the past, and an interest in preserving our common heritage for future generations.
We invite you to join us.
Our office is located in the King William Historical Museum at King William Courthouse.
