The
Lynnhaven History Tour
This web log is intended to promote
interest in Virginia Beach history -- particularly in
existing historical houses, which contribute greatly to
the city's sense of identity and are the subject of a
forthcoming documentary. It is my hope that, in the future,
this will also become a forum for the exchange of local
history information.

Texas Legislature established the "Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas for Colored Youths" and
