The Brook trout is Virginia’s state fish and the only native trout species. Wild brookies are most common in cold upland streams, where they grow slowly and do not reach nearly the size of either rainbows or browns, rarely exceeding one pound.
Heads Up!
The Virginia Living Museum staff will begin setting up for an after hours event around 3PM on the main floor.

Heads Up! The Changing Exhibit Gallery, where our Wild Explorations exhibit lives, will close at 3PM today in preparation for an after hours event!
