The Northumberland County Historical Society, established in 1963, is dedicated to preserving the rich history and genealogy of Northumberland County, Virginia. Situated on the Northern Neck peninsula between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, the society's Ball Memorial Library and Museum houses a well-stocked genealogical and historical library, meeting room, and local historical artifacts.
Visitors can explore the restored 1839 Old Jail, part of the historic Courthouse Square in Heathsville, which also includes the 1851 Old Courthouse and Rice's Hotel Hughlett's Tavern. The society hosts regular events, such as lectures and musical programs, to educate the public about the Mother County of the Northern Neck of Virginia.
