Starting in June, MCVIC will be re-open to the public starting Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. The museum will remain closed at this time. Please feel comfortable to visit us during your visit to Mathews to pick up information about the area and browse our Made in Mathews gift shop for a locally made keepsake to bring home with you.
Please know, that you are required to wear face masks at this time in any Virginia business brick and mortar establishment. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask, you do not need to wear one, and we will assume that is the case and not be confronting patrons. For the safety of our volunteers, we ask that you try your best to practice social distancing regardless.
