Barrier Islands Center

Celebrate the history, beauty, and culture of the Eastern Shore at the Barrier Islands Center. The lovely museum showcases how our peninsula brings together watermen, artisans, farmers, scientists, innovators, and people who love the land. The BIC is dedicated to highlighting Virginia’s unique coastal history through free admission to exhibits with over 7,500 artifacts artfully displayed to tell the stories of the men and women who once lived, worked, and played on the barrier islands.
