“WHAT IS IT?” NIGHT AT
THE MATHEWS MUSEUM
When:
Where: 200 Main Street, Mathews, VA
In conjunction with the Fairfield Foundation, the Mathews Museum will host “What Is It?” night, Friday, August 2, 6:00-8:00 pm. The public is invited to bring in artifacts-- found items that they have questions about, pottery, ceramics, arrowheads to identify-- to find out additional information about their belongings. There is no charge for this event.
On site will be a special guest, antiquities authority William (Bill) Pitman, formerly Curator of Archaeological Collections at Colonial Williamsburg, now retired and affiliated with the Fairfield Foundation.
The Museum has enjoyed hosting this event in past years and is pleased to bring it back this year. “What we’ve found from experience, is that some of the objects are very difficult to identify,” notes Museum President, Tom Robinson. “And if we can’t identify the object that night, we will work with the owner to determine its provenance.”
