South King: Hampton's Waterfront Through the Ages

The Hampton History Museum will have two special exhibits to honor the 400th Anniversary of Hampton. The first of these on display from March 5th through August 15th, "South King: Hampton's Waterfront Through the Ages", features the waterfront of Hampton along South King Street as it has changed over the past 400 years. Many drawings and photographs portray the different moods and looks of this area, while artifacts from archaeological excavations and from the still-existing ship chandlery and seafood businesses there, will provide multiple foci of information and stories about the oldest continuous English settlement in North America. A second special exhibit, honoring Hampton's premiere photographers, C. Ethelbert and W. E. "Happy" Cheyne, will open on September 15th and run through March 17, 2011. The Hampton History Museum is located at 120 Old Hampton Lane, Hampton. Admission fee, memberships are available at the door. For further information, please call 757-727-1610.
