Domestic Life
Daily life and everyday customs—from the items we use in our homes to the ways we raise our children to what we eat and drink—form the basis of a society’s culture. Artifacts and images of everyday life from across Virginia’s history help illuminate social values, gender roles, and economic conditions and how domestic traditions have shaped the present.
