Ocean View Station Museum

111 West Ocean View, Norfolk, VA 23503 (757) 441-1750

The Ocean View Station Museum, tucked away in Norfolk’s quaint beachfront neighborhood of Ocean View, welcomes the public to explore the history of this neighborhood and the City of Norfolk. Throughout its past and into its future, Ocean View (or OV as it’s called by locals) continues to pride itself on heritage and community. The OVSM enshrines that spirit.

The museum is now operated inside the Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch Library at 111 W. Ocean View Ave.
