Join us **Friday, May 2 at 7:00 PM** at the **Mathews Museum** for a special evening presentation during **May Faire 2025**! 🎉

**Pam Muffelman**, a Mathews County resident of over 30 years and a frequent speaker on the history of **Williams Wharf Landing**, will guide us through the rich and fascinating past of this vital local site — from the **1600s** to today. 🛶⚓️

Learn how Williams Wharf served as a bustling port, a lookout during the Revolutionary War, and a hub for shipbuilding, trade, and daily life. We’ll also explore its ongoing transformation from a 250-year-old commercial site into a treasured public waterfront.

🕰️ **Doors open at 6:30 PM**
đź“Ť Mathews Museum, 200 Main Street
🎟️ **Free and open to the public**

Come connect with the stories that shaped our shores and celebrate the unique history of Mathews County.
