SUMMARY:The Battle of Cricket Hill - A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding in the Mathews County area is titled “The Battle of Cricket Hill: A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement.” This exhibit will be launched by the Mathews Archives\, a collaboration between the Mathews County Historical Society and the Mathews Memorial Library. The exhibit will be open from July 1 to August 31.\nThe highlight of the display is an original clipping from the September 24\, 1776\, issue of the Leicester Journal\, a historic newspaper from Leicester\, England. The article details Lord Dunmore’s involvement in the Battle of Gwynn’s Island. This framed item\, displayed between panes of glass\, was a gift from Margaret Jones Perritt of Gloucester in July 1999 and is being showcased for the first time.\nOther components of the exhibit include a panel on Gwynn’s Island\, an account of the battle\, a copy of Thomas Jefferson’s map of the Gwynn’s Island/Milford Haven area\, a DAR artifact\, excerpts from Captain Thomas Posey’s diary detailing his participation in the battle\, and accounts of the battle’s aftermath. Additional materials related to the American Revolutionary War are also part of the exhibit\, which is located on the balcony of the library’s second floor.
