About Us

Mission

The Toano Historical Society is a non-profit organization founded to inspire a new sense of community spirit, promote interest in our history, and preserve our small town character.

Vision

We aspire to:

  • Combat community deterioration by supporting Main Street Revitalization.
  • Partner with James City County to pass a resolution establishing Toano as an Historic District.
  • Help secure sources of funding via public grants and private contributions to make streetscape and other improvements that will benefit Toano.
