A Message from Our CEO
Each month, FAM’s President and CEO, Sam McKelvey, shares his reflections, updates, and behind-the-scenes stories from the museum. From upcoming exhibitions and community programs to thoughts on Fredericksburg’s history, these messages offer a personal look at what’s happening at FAM — and where we’re headed next.

History Belongs to Everyone
At the Fredericksburg Area Museum, we believe our community’s stories should be open to all, without a price tag. That’s why admission is always free, inviting everyone to explore, reflect, and connect with our shared past.
