There is a new show at the National Portrait Gallery called "Legacy: Spain and the United States in the Age of Independence, 1763-1848." According to the Washington Post, it is a collection of "some 70 portraits, maps, and treaties that attempt to shed some light on this still-shadowy corner of history."
While the National Portrait Gallery is not in Charlottesville or Albemarle County -- it's in Washington, D.C. -- this show sounds like it would be a lot of fun and educational, too!
