A peninsula off the coast of Virginia, Hampton\u2019s strategic location makes it an important part of American history, dating back 400 years. With events such as the arrival of the first Africans on American soil in 1619 to involvement in both the American Revolution and the Civil War, Hampton<\/a> offers so much rich history to explore.<\/p>\n

In August of 1619, just over 20 African\u00a0people landed at Old Point Comfort, the present-day Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA. They were the first to be sold into forced labor in Colonial America, initiating the slave trade for Virginia\u2019s tobacco crop. Every year, the Annual African Landing Day Commemoration<\/a> takes place in August to honor their arrival and legacy. During the 400th anniversary next year, look for a variety of Living History tours, education programs, special museum exhibits, and more happening throughout the area. Several organizations are working together to mark the anniversary. Check out hamptonVA2019.com<\/a>, project1619.org<\/a>, and americanevolution2019.com<\/a> to find out more about the activities being planned.<\/p>\n

The best place to start is at the Hampton History Museum<\/a>, which traces the beginning of Hampton from the Kecoughtan Indian tribe to the first arrival of Africans to space exploration with NASA.<\/p>\n

To learn more about 400 years of African-American impact, visit Aberdeen Gardens<\/a>, a historic district, museum, and residential community, which opened in 1934. \u201cBuilt by Blacks for Blacks<\/a>,\u201d Aberdeen Gardens continues to be a successful residential neighborhood. The museum serves as a showcase for an original home, furniture, and backyard.<\/p>\n

Established in 1868, Hampton University<\/a> is a private African-American educational facility that offers a range of interesting sites to tour, including the HU Museum, the Booker T. Washington Memorial, and the National Historic Landmark district. Inside the museum is the famous painting, \u201cThe Banjo Lesson,\u201d painted by Henry Tanner in 1893, as well as many others. See the Emancipation Oak where Lincoln\u2019s Emancipation Proclamation was read in 1863 and where Mary Peake taught now-freed\u00a0African-Americans to read and get an education.

As a bonus, you\u2019ll stop at the historic Civil War island of Fort Wool, built in 1819, only accessible by boat. Check out their website for a variety of cruise options.<\/p>\n
