SUMMARY:Antique Southern Quilts Collection Showcase
DESCRIPTION:A special quilting exhibit\, “Threads of Our History: Quilts of Mathews Virginia\,”  will debut at the Mathews Museum\, October 5 and will be on exhibit  through the end of December.\n\nThese quilts are from a private collection of an old Mathews family\, going back over a century.   Mathews is a small\, rural southern county sitting on the Chesapeake Bay. The quilts  reflect their utilitarian use\, in a geographic area that was fairly isolated until the 1950s. The quilts honor a southern tradition of quilting when scraps of fabric or clothing were used to make bedding when the family needed it. Southern quilts have their own identity\, with their use of color\, size of pieces\, and choice of fabric\, which was primarily cotton and feedbags.\n\nThe current holders of this very special collection are Mathews residents Jay Black\, a financial advisor with Davenport & Co. and his wife\, Lori Jackson Black\, a genealogist and historian\, who are pleased to be able to share this treasured collection with the public at the upcoming special exhibit.\n\n“These quilts represent the life of Polly Brooks Diggs (1884-1988) and her sister Maron Diggs (1878-1982) as well as other women in the Diggs family who worked together to provide quilts to their extended family and friends in Mathews County\,” says Lori Jackson Black. Lori continues\, “Carole Diggs Hindman\, the most recent owner of the collection\, passed away in 2018 and it was left to my husband\, Jay\, to manage the property\, which she had inherited from her parents\, J. Martin and Leon Hudgins Diggs. Before Carole passed away she had given us the last quilt that Polly made\, along with a note on it with additional\nInformation.”\n\nLori recounts their discovery of the trove of quilts\, “ At the Hindman house\, all three bedrooms had a quilt on the bed\, and we found many more in each closet.  We then went into the attic where we found more\, along with several handmade wool comforters. We feel blessed to be able to share these family heirlooms with the public.”  Some of the items on display will include  a baby quilt of Jay’s\, and also one bed quilt made especially for him. More than 30 quilts were counted\, with many of them being included in the exhibit. Accompanying the exhibit will be descriptions of the quilts\, letters and notes and photographs.\n\nThere is a private showing on Thursday\, October 3rd for Mathews Museum members.  And beginning October 4th\,  the museum will be open every Friday\, Saturday and Sunday through the end of December.  For information on special tours\, contact  804-695-4664 or email mathewsvamuseumfriends@gmail.com .For Museum hours and additional information\, visit www.mathewsvamuseum.org. “

SUMMARY:Public Opening of the Thomas Hunley General Store & Post Office
DESCRIPTION:General stores and post offices were both a mainstay and a way of life in Mathews County years ago. They were the gathering spots and the epicenters of each of the respective communities throughout the county. \nOn Saturday\, June 22\, 10:00 am until 2:00 pm\, Mathews “newest general store” will open its doors to the public.  The Tommy Hunley General Store/post office will receive its first official customers at Saturday’s open reception at the Mathews Museum\, 200 Main Street\, where the new general store is now an official permanent exhibit. \nRay Hunley\, longtime commissioner of  revenue in Mathews\, donated both a significant collection of his father’s general store/post office memorabilia as well as many hours of his personal time\, lovingly and patiently recreating  a “mini” general store within the walls of the Museum. Years ago\, Ray’s father\, Tommy Hunley\,  was an employee  of the Virginia Power Company\, and as part of his job\, he would travel throughout the county\,  visiting the various general stores\, and meeting with the owners. As time went by\, and the general stores closed\, he would acquire much of the products and artifacts from the stores and store them in his own one room building on Church Street. \n“All of the contents of this store were original\, no reproductions.  He had visitors from all over the world visit his store over the years\, including two Virginia Governors\,” said Ray Hunley.  “ He was highlighted on two evening news shows on Wavy TV and WTKR TV.  It was his wish that the contents be preserved and made available to the citizens of Mathews as a memory of past times.  Many of the contents are one-of-a-kind or one-of-a-few.” \nTommy Hunley passed away in 2005\, and his wish was to continue the memories and share the history.  Ray and his wife Doris felt that the collection could best be displayed at the Museum. The general store exhibit now officially resides  within the walls of  the Mathews Museum and will now be open to the public\, honoring Tommy Hunley’s wishes. \nThe Museum announces the store’s grand opening on Saturday\, June  22nd.  Museum President Tom Robinson says\, “Mathews Museum is pleased and honored to own this collection\, and we want the museum to be a real place to visit in Mathews.” \nVisit www.mathewsvamuseum.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The Mathews Museum will host a discussion of the use of silver in the colonial period. The presentation will be in the Museum’s newly renovated and updated media room. It is open to the public and there is no charge for this event. \nThe presentation will provide an overview of the history of the use of Virginia silver in the 1700s and 1800s. The guest speaker will be the Museum’s Vice Chair\, Tom Karow\, who is a silver historian and is a member of the Mathews VA250 Committee. He will discuss the silversmiths of Virginia prior to 1865\, when silversmithing was considered a craft and appreciated as an art form. \nThe displaying of coin silver and sterling silver was once considered a sign of wealth and status. Examples of the art of fine dining during the 1700s\, with displays of silver\, can still be viewed at Mount Vernon and Monticello. Karow will have on display\, a wide selection of silver on loan from area dealers and owners\, showing examples of Virginia silver that represent pieces of historical significance\, some dating back into the mid 18th century\, handmade by some of Virginia’s most renowned silversmiths. Karow\, a well known local historian and Mathews resident\, is President of the Fairfield Foundation and a member of the Mathews VA250 Committee. \nCome join us as we step back in time at the Mathews Museum!

SUMMARY:Movie Night at the Museum: "State Fair"
DESCRIPTION:Movie Night at the Museum\, Friday\, March 8\, will open with a brief historical slide presentation  of the nearly 40 years of County Fairs that were held in Mathews beginning in 1901\, and lasting  up to the early 1940s.  That  presentation will be followed by the movie\, “State Fair\,” an American musical film which tells the story of a brother and sister who go to a state fair in Dallas and find good clean fun and romance.  \nThe film sets the stage for this year’s Mathews heritage festival on May 4\, “A Rural Life\,” which focuses on family\, fishing and farming.  “It will definitely be reminiscent of a county fair this year\, “ says MHM President Tom Robinson.  “We are expanding our May Faire experience\, with significantly more children’s entertainment\, including painting horses\, hatching baby chicks\, the traditional May Pole dance\, a children’s “May Faire Zoo” and a very special guest\, Jonathan Austin and his “24 Hour Emergency Juggling and Magic Services!” \nThe musical\, “State Fair\,” is intended as an introduction to the upcoming May 4 May Faire event\, which will be similar in many ways to an old fashioned county fair. Doors open at the Museum\, 200 Main Street\, at  5:30 and the program begins at 6:00. No reservations are required and there is no charge for this event. Join the Mathews Historical Museum in their newly renovated Media Room!

SUMMARY:The Haunting of the Hudgins House
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mathews Memorial Library for “The Haunting of the HUDGINS HOUSE… an Ever-Evolving Tale” with Benn Trask. This free event is open to the public\, and refreshments will be served! \nThe Hudgins House tale began in the fall of 1882 when lighthouse officials in Baltimore granted Assistant Keeper Augustine F. Hudgins of the Wolf Trap station a leave of absence to tend to an unusual family matter. The issue reportedly was a malicious spirit that was tormenting the lighthouse keeper’s wife and children\, who were living in the family home near Garden Creek. Despite the keeper’s best efforts\, the family’s ordeal continued. The Hudgins family’s story received national attention and changed with each reprinting. Some Mathews County residents still remember this eerie tale. \nBenn Trask\, noted historian\, educator\, Marine Corps veteran\, librarian and museum curator is the author of numerous books including academic works on the Virginia Civil War regimental histories series and lighthouses of southeastern Virginia. Trask holds Bachelor and Master degrees from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Library Science from UNC-Chapel Hill. He has twenty years of teaching experience\, primarily as a middle school history teacher and worked at The Mariners’ Museum in Newport News as librarian and curator.

SUMMARY:4th Mathews USLHS Grave Marker Event
DESCRIPTION:SIX LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS TO BE HONORED \nOn Saturday\, October 7\, volunteers with the nonprofit organization\, U.S. Lighthouse Society and its Chesapeake Chapter\, will honor six Chesapeake Bay lighthouse keepers in special ceremonies at three cemeteries in Mathews County.  During the ceremonies\, each keeper will be honored with the unveiling of a United States Lighthouse Service grave marker. The chapter will conduct the first 30-minute long tribute to William Edward Davis at H.C. Smither Cemetery in Hudgins at 9:30 a.m.  The event (rain or shine) then moves on to Mathews Baptist Church Cemetery\, also in Hudgins\, where at 10:45 a.m. Keeper Robert Franklin  \nPowell will be honored.  After a lunch break\, the ceremonies will continue at St. Paul United Methodist Church Cemetery in Susan as Keeper John William Thomas is honored at 1:30 p.m. followed by a 2:15 p.m. ceremony recognizing Keeper James Temple Ripley.  And at 3:30 p.m.\, Keeper Oliver R.

Hudgins and James Beauregard Hurst both served at New Point Comfort Lighthouse.  And honoree John William Thomas recuperated in Lancaster County after a narrow escape with his life when the screwpile lighthouse at Wolf Trap was destroyed by ice floes in 1893.  His family in Mathews received notice a week after the event that he did indeed survive. \nA team from Flotilla 66\, U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary\, will serve as color guard with additional personnel (as available) from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Milford Haven serving as honor guard.   \nThe ceremonies are open to the public.
