THIS IS A MUST VISIT MUSEUM!!! THE HISTORY AND ARTIFACTS ARE A MUST SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! ALL I KEPT SAYING WAS "😃I REMEMBER MY GRANDPARENTS USING ONE OF THEM OR HAVING ONE OF THOSE"! THE MOVIE ABOUT TANGIER ISLAND AND THEIR ANCESTORS WAS VERY HEARTFELT AND PASSIONATE!!! YES IT MADE ME CRY😢 BUT IT ALSO OPENED MY EYES TO HOW MUCH TANGIER ISLAND IS LOVED BY ITS RESIDENTS!!! IT ALSO SHOWED ME HOW MUCH TANGIER ISLAND IS IN NEED OF THE SEA WALL BEING BUILT TO HELP SLOW DOWN THE EROSION AND SINKING!!! YES WE DONATIONED TO THE CAUSE AND WILL AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE, INTERESTING ITEMS ON DISPLAY AND HANDMADE STORE ITEMS!!! LOVED IT ALL🙏🏾💖

As someone who loves small-town history museums, this one is top-tier. It is absolutely packed with artifacts, the ship models are incredible, and I love the added touch if handwritten informational placards through the museum. It is evident that it is a work of love for history and for the island. In my opinion, this little place alone is worth a trip out to Tangier.

The proprietor of this small museum was extremely kind and funny. It was a scorching hot day and we commented on how nice the air conditioning was. He stated, "Yeah, I like to set it to Meat Locker." There was a lot of history, especially arrowheads and military. It was an interesting place to explore. Definitely a top spot to visit on the island.

If you've never experienced the charm of a Islander or just love being on the water, you've got to come check out Tangier Island, Virginia. Tons of history, delicious, fresh seafood ( softshell crab capital of the world) and many other things to do and plus they offer tours of the island. There are a few Islanders that own a vehicle, but for the most part, cars are prohibited without proper approval or permit. Bicycles and golf carts are the main source of transportation, but due to the size of this absolutely beautiful island, everything can be walked to in under roughly a half an hour. Don't forget to check out...

I would die for Bubba if Bubba wasn’t already dead 😤

This is a small, very local feeling museum. I felt like you could sense the pride and love the community has for their history as much in the curation as in the artifacts themselves.

There are so many interesting details and story about the...
