PMF members and friends. It’s my last day posting on Peninsula Museums Forum - PMF page. It’s been an honor serving on the Council and connecting with museum professionals across the Peninsula. I’ll continue to support PMF and museums across the Commonwealth. You can follow my new endeavors at Hampton Roads Community Foundation. Please encourage high school seniors to apply for its college scholarship program. Take care and HUZZAH to PMF! - Rebecca Guest 🫶🏻

Our thoughts are with the people of Southern California in the path of the wildfires. We are thinking of our museum colleagues during this time. Museum professionals train and prepare for these matters, but the most important thing is safety. Sending hugs to all in this region and their loved ones. 🫶🏻

Great story from PMF member Jamestown Settlement & American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. We hear stories all the time about how great Nick’s Seafood Pavilion was. Wonderful to learn more about the Mathews family and their generosity. ❤️

Nick and Mary Mathews started with a dream.

Over time, the beloved couple built an iconic Virginia restaurant — Nick’s Seafood Pavilion — and welcomed stars like Elizabeth Taylor and John Wayne.

But their true legacy was their generosity… they donated the land that became the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.

This spring, we’re proud to present “Patrons & Patriots: The Legacy of Nick and Mary Mathews” (March 8 – July 27) in a heartfelt exhibit honoring these Greek immigrants turned American patriots.
