WAYNESBORO A concept more than 20 years in the making, the Virginia Museum of Natural History s Waynesboro location is now come to fruition thanks to state funding for its design.
Waynesboro city staff and residents gathered Wednesday afternoon for the site unveiling in downtown. According to Greg Hitchin, the city s economic development director, the idea for establishing an interpretive center focused on natural resources can be traced back to the first Virginia Fly Fishing Festival in 2000.
The Center for Coldwaters Restoration, a volunteer group that was formed in 2010, helped spark the building of the education pavilion in Constitution Park along with the vision and contributions from the Shenandoah Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Dominion Energy, a release said.
