MMF Director and model builder Don Good is building a 1/12 scale model deadrise work boat to be raffled off to raise funds for the Riverside Walter Reed Hospital in Gloucester, VA. The 41" hull is expected to be completed this spring.
Ticket sales to begin in the spring. Drawing in early Fall.
Follow along on Facebook as Don completes the build.
We are preparing Boating Safety classes for youth ages 10-18, and Introduction to Water Safety for ages 6-10. Older youth will obtain their Boat VA Operator license. Classes will be free and held at our museum on Sat. or Sun. mornings. Dates to be announced.
Your support funds educational programs, restores historic boats, and preserves the maritime history of Mathews County.
Tax deductible donations can be made by cash, check, or PayPal. MMF also maintains a profile with the Community Foundation at connectVA.org.
