Virginia Living Museum 
Walk on the Wild Side for Flood Relief
October 2012
On Aug. 25, water from a flash flood inundated the entire lower level of the main museum building and the Wason Education Center. This was the worst flooding in the museum's 45-year history, overwhelming floodgates that were designed to withstand a 100-year flood.
Much of the damage will be covered by insurance, but the museum must raise $50,000 to meet the insurance deductible. This is the second time this year that the museum been flooded and the second time it must meet the insurance deductible.
