Watermen's Museum — Attraction in Gloucester Point

We have been members for two years and came fishing on the pier every year many times. We came this time and we were met with rudeness beyond imagination! Steve, who introduced himself as a president of the museum/pier for last 15 years, and a arrogant girl whom we saw for a first time, told us that we cannot park we’re we usually parked since we are not VIP there and not invited. When we gave the argument that we are paid members he answered that they have over 500 members implying that we are just a number for them, and told us that we have to leave because we are trespassing. The pier is in horrible condition and if they have 500 members they could fix it! Where do all those money from fundraisers and paid members?

How about perfect weather and the most awesome pink sunset view in Yorktown? That was our experience at our daughter’s August 24th Waterman’s Museum wedding. Our photographer was so excited about all the windmill, the museum, boats and beach. Very little decorating is needed; scenic views everywhere you look! Steve Ormsby and staff were helpful and accommodating every step of the way! The lawn and sidewalks were perfect. Our guests said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended! This is truly a top Virginia wedding venue! We couldn’t...
