Maritime Heritage Day Festival

The Mathews Maritime Foundation (MMF) will be having a
Maritime Heritage Day Festival
Sat., July 17
10 am – 3 pm

Come join us at this outdoor event which will take place on the lawn beside the Maritime Museum.
Tents will be set up showing various activities and projects we are currently working on. Many  photos of past and present will be displayed.  MMF members can sign up for a Sunday Cruise on our buy boat The Peggy, or for boat building and boat repair workshops which will take place at our Gwynn’s Island Boat Shop (GIBS). There will be interesting outdoor boat exhibits, country music by John Atkinson of Gwynn’s Island, food available by Backwoods BBQ , and much more. The Museum will be open to browse, see our new exhibits, visit our gift shop, and to be surprised at all you find in this little museum.  We hope our membership and friends in the community will take advantage of this opportunity to come talk to us in person and learn more about the activities planned for this summer.

Directions:  The Maritime Museum is located at 482 Main Street, Mathews, VA.  It is on the right of Rt. 14, just beyond the old courthouse area leading toward New Point.  Parking that day will be along the road on Main Street.  For those who prefer walking from the Courthouse area in town, it is just a short walk down the street from the Bay School.  There are other events taking place on Main Street on July 17, so come on down to add us to your adventure.

Rain date will be the following Saturday, July 24.
