One of those quirky little museums that celebrate a collector and her or his passions. The Camera Heritage Museum in Staunton has some 7000 cameras and accessories, nearly two centuries’ worth — under one roof and on display.

Here, David Schwartz has put 58 years into adding to a vast collection of cameras, a history of photography from early 19th Century Dageurreotypes to the first Kodaks to large format and tiny “spy cameras,” with every camera maker and type and design you can think of represented. 

And yes, that’s one of the cameras Leni Riefenstahl used to do “Olympia.”

Come for a little Shakespeare at the Blackfriars, grab a little lunch and duck into The Camera Heritage Museum to remember every camera you ever had, and those that belonged to grandma, great grandpa and on back.
