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:Lecture Series at Williams Wharf Landing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mathews Land Conservancy for a discussion on the rise in modern aquaculture in Chesapeake Bay and why we should make room for it\, with Mike Congrove and Stan Allen from Oyster Seed Holdings. Oyster aquaculture in Chesapeake Bay bloomed relatively late on the world stage\, but rose very quickly in the 2000s so that Virginia now leads the East Coast in production. This growth was bolstered by the development of breeding techniques that maximize productivity. With this growth was a concomitant rise in hatchery production\, and Oyster Seed Holdings was one of the founding oyster hatcheries in the Bay. The restorative nature of oyster culture is a vital force in sustainable food supply writ large in the world.

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! Reservations are not required.
