The Covid 19 virus has affected everyone. The museum had to cancel a scheduled spring fundraising event and is not sure when it will open for the 2020 season. We need your continued support to make sure we have the operating funds to keep the lights on and to provide needed upkeep for our exhibits. To help make up for those lost funds.

The spring fundraising campaign will run from May 15-June 30. 20% of all monies raised during the campaign will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck’s meals program.

By donating to the campaign, you will not only support the museum during ths difficult time, but you will also be helping the Boys and Girls Club continue serving weekly meals and snacks to 226 area children. We are truly all in this together.

To donate please visit our Donate page or send a check to SEM PO Box 132 Irvington, VA 22480 .
