The Sweet Briar Promise outlines our distinctive approach for providing meaningful, enduring education for women. It includes:
Located in the Boxwood Alumnae House, the Sweet Briar Museum contains an excellent teaching collection of 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century American decorative arts, including artifacts that belonged to the College's founders and memorabilia from throughout the College's history.
The Sweet Briar Museum presents the history of Sweet Briar College from its past as the home of the College's founders to its growth as a premier educational institution for women.
Sweet Briar House and the museum's collections take you back to Central Virginia's plantation era, showcase the 19th-century decorative arts and capture more than 100 years of College life.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday during the academic year and by appointment at other times. Guided tours are available upon request and admission is free.
