Art and Cultural History
The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen opened in 1999, making use of the distinctive features of the former Glen Allen School. Its origins connect its present-day cultural use with the history of the former school. The first floor has four main gallery spaces. The center also offers performances and art classes for all ages. The options differ not only by subject but also by format: you can attend a performance, view an exhibition, or take an art class and make art yourself. If a particular date is important to your trip, check in advance which performances, exhibitions, or classes will be taking place during your stay. Walkerton can also be rented for events through the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen.
The Meadow Farm Museum at Crump Park offers a different cultural focus. Its programs, events, and exhibitions explore cultures that have influenced the history of Henrico County, Virginia. Compared with the Cultural Arts Center’s broad arts program, the museum is a focused choice for anyone interested in this regional perspective.
Trails, Park, and Water
Crump Park has walking trails and a fishing pond. The Meadow Farm Museum is located at Crump Park, so the cultural history and park features are found at the same named location. You can distinguish the options by type: the museum focuses on regional history, the trails on walking, and the pond on fishing.
Cobblestones Park water park is located in Glen Allen and has two large concrete swimming pools with different water depths. This offers a different focus from the art offerings and Crump Park: here, the pools and their water depths shape the experience. These different types of activities make it easy to compare your options when deciding between cultural programming, time outdoors, and a water-based activity.
