After years of research and design, the grand opening of Shirley Plantation's new timeline exhibit took place in late 2009. The new timeline chronicles the major events in the history of Shirley Plantation, the State of Virginia, and the United States of America. The timeline begins with the royal land grant given to Sir Thomas West and his wife, Lady Cessalye Shirley, in 1613 and ends with the creation of the Shirley Plantation Foundation in 2009. The timeline is located in the Icehouse outbuilding, one of eight original Colonial outbuildings at Shirley.
