Repository

If you have time during your stay, we invite you out to Louisa County to browse the exhibits and genealogy research room resources at the Sargeant Museum to learn more about Central Virginia and your family's connection to this beautiful and history-packed place.

You will find the museum at 214 Fredericksburg Avenue, right in the heart of the town of Louisa, Virginia. Visit between Monday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Be Prepared

Visitors are encouraged to bring a flash drive and digital camera to easily take home their research.

Holdings and Collections

Contact by e-mail louisahistory@verizon.net and visit http://www.louisahistory.org to learn more about our exhibits and programs. For Louisa County, the index of the work of genealogist Janice L. Abercrombie is available on the digital archives website.



Services

With dedicated docents and volunteers, we are ready, willing and able to assist in your genealogical and historical research endeavors! Multiple genealogical and family collections have been added to the archives recently and can be available for research by appointment. Upon request, research assistance services are available for a fee.



Many of the smaller historical societies around Richmond have treasures in their archives and courthouses for genealogists. Best of all, many of the best of those items are available online at http://www.piedmontvahistory.org. The site is shared by several Central Virginia historical organizations and contains hundreds of items: historic photographs, slave bible records, the Free Black Registers from Fluvanna and Louisa counties, maps, tax records and more.
