Working-Waterfront MuseumSeasonal / Event-Based

A museum on the York River documenting Chesapeake Bay watermen from pre-colonial to modern times — exhibits include crabbing/oystering tools, dredges, an original three-log canoe, and the region's commercial-fishing heritage. York County sits on the outer edge of the Hampton Roads Planning District region (closer to the Historic Triangle than the core Hampton Roads cities) rather than squarely within it — included with that caveat rather than overstated as core Hampton Roads, the same honesty pattern this project's own waterfowl guide used for a West Point program on the Middle Peninsula's edge.
