Yes. Quite a bit of the Revolutionary War happened in Virginia. The Battles in the Shenandoah Valley and The Battle of Point Pleasant happened in 1774 long before Lexington and Concord.

The Burning of Norfolk occurred in December 31, 1775-January 1, 1776. That event more than any other led to the Declaration of Independence.

Thomas Jefferson had to flee his home in 1781 as the British Army advanced. His current home replaced the burned down house.

The British forces captured Richmond. General Lafayette fought the British until General Washington brought his army and the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia.

Of course 12 other states were also involved in the war.
