American Legion — Local services in Hopewell

starting on Wednesday, 21 May, 2025 and continuing until 27 August, the Historic Hopewell Foundation will be doing a series of wonderful lectures each Wednesday at Noon, given by local mavens and experts on Central Virginia's illustrious past, and even not-so-good-old-days in some brutally honest assessments of our checkered History. The Truth can hurt sometimes, but these researchers do their homework and do not hesitate to show you that our Past is NOT quite the same way as those dust-dry-high-school-history textbooks make things out to be. So if you think Colonel Jessup was a mad-man with an axe to grind, and you CAN handle The Truth, and want to know what REALLY happened back there, come on out to see these lectures in the bingo hall of the American Legion Post 146 at 1200 hours on each and every Wednesday until Labor Day. Bring a bag lunch of your making, OR order a good sandwich and fries from the Legion Post kitchen staff headed up by the ubiquitous Tanya, then sit back to enjoy unvarnished Virginia History for one informative hour of fun like you never got in...

This Post is the BEST! It is a home away from home for veterans, active duty military and their families. Three healthy meals a day are provided here at reasonable prices with no tax included. Members help in the club room with services, and everyone is open, warm, and friendly. The building has been completely remodeled in the past two years, led by a Commander whose love of the Post family and veterans is paramount. The Auxiliary is equally strong and very active, contributing so much to this Post, and the community. The facility is modern and beautiful! There is no smoking, no vulgarity, and inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. Private and community events are hosted here, many open to the public. All are welcome by this amazing American Legion Family, who puts service to others...
