Today was History Day on the Hill sponsored by the @VirginiaMuseum. It was wonderful to have some students here from the New River Valley sharing their history projects. I was so impressed by their hard work and presentation. Thanks to these students for visiting the Capitol!

Happy #Aquarius Season! In the 1860s, “The Aquarius” was used to clean buildings, extinguish fires, and tend gardens. It could “throw eight gallons of water per minute fifty feet high with power of only one hand.” That's pretty powerful! (1861.36) #virginiahistory
