While the Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School

Museum remains closed due to COVID-19 precautions, the museum can be toured virtually. Princess Anne County Training School, which began operations in 1938, was the first high school for African Americans in Princess

Anne County, which is now the City of Virginia Beach. The school was a result of the African American community working together in the 1930s. After more than 30 years of operation, the school graduated its last class in 1969 due to the citywide integration of schools. To tour virtually, visit museumsvb.org/museums/unionkempsville-museum.
