Rivah (‘riv-â), n. [der. river]:
1. the lands and waters
of the Northern Neck
and Middle Peninsula of
Virginia, USA, particularly
favored by urban dwellers
for spring, summer and fall
escapes. 2. a region in these
peninsulas bound by the
Chesapeake Bay and the
Rappahannock, Potomac
and York rivers, inclusive.
adj.– rivah: reflecting an
attitude indicative of the
abundantly pleasant lifestyle
in this area.
P
icnics, parades and patriotism. We celebrate our nation’s
birth and the official start of summer this month. With hot
weather’s arrival, it’s time to hit the water for fishing, leisure
boating and wave riding. Where better to relax and enjoy the
Rappahannock River than at Naylor’s Beach Campground, a
Richmond County destination for over 60 years. Travel there
with reporter Renss Greene, who tells us why its been such a
popular spot for visitors for more than half a century. Spend the
day or a weekend there, relaxing on the banks of the river.
Or spend the day in Urbanna, riding ‘The Pearl’, the town’s
trolley. Hop on and off for stops at boutiques, restaurants and
the waterfront. Play a round of miniature golf and sample some
hand-dipped ice cream. Follow the trolley with reporter Tom
Chillemi.
Independence Day in Rivah country offers hometown
parades, firework displays, ball games, festivals and patriotic
music. Check out our events and music calendars so you don’t
miss any of the Fourth of July fun.
Also, remember to take pictures of your family and friends
enjoying themselves, maybe at an Independence Day picnic or
parade or tubing on the Rappahannock. We love your photos
and we may publish them in our Rivah Life section.
Please continue to support the advertisers that make this

“Many thanks to the businesses who donate their
time and gifts for this wonderful cause. Join us in
showing your family, friends and neighbors that we
will do our part to help find a cure,” said an event
spokesperson.

The Pearl’s interior is a throwback to the golden age of
trolleys and has bench seats, brass hand rails and a loud
brass bell to signal the driver to stop.
All aboard ‘The Pearl’
by Tom Chillemi
“The Pearl,” Urbanna’s trolley, shows riders the variety of the town along its three-mile
route.
From ice cream and miniature golf, to art, fashion, restaurants and more, The Pearl
stops at them all twice each hour. The Pearl starts her runs on the hour and the half hour.
The trolley runs on Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 10 p.m., and on Saturdays from
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. It has extended hours during events such as the Urbanna Independence
Day Celebration and fireworks display on Friday, July 3.
Bay Transit operates The Pearl and similar trolleys in Kilmarnock and Colonial Beach.
Find out more at BayTransit.org.
The fare is 50 cents, and children under 12 must be accompanied by a chaperone who is
at least 16 years old. The trolley is handicapped accessible.
16 • Rivah • July 2015 Step right up
T
he Pearl’s route begins at
Bethpage Camp-Resort
just west of Urbanna on
the hour and half hour. Its first
stop is Bethpage Creamery for
ice cream and miniature golf,
which is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
every day.
As needed, The Pearl will
make a run to Shores and Ruark
Seafood Company and its
Urbanna Seafood Restaurant and
Raw Bar on Robinson Creek,
about a mile west of town.
The Pearl’s main stop is in the
heart of Urbanna at the intersection of Virginia and Cross streets,
where it arrives at 13 minutes
and 43 minutes past the hour.
From there, most of what there
is to see or do in Urbanna is
just a block away. The Urbanna
Museum and Visitors Center is
a short walk from the intersection toward Urbanna Creek. For
hours, call the town office at
758-2613.
There are two restaurants on
Virginia Street near the intersection—Virginia Street Cafe and
Something Different.
On the corner is R.S. Bristow
Store, which is the oldest retail
business in Middlesex County.
It was once a general store and
the “Home of Good Goods.” It’s
worth a trip inside just to see the
store’s 100-year-old-plus architecture and furnishings.
Displaying original works
on Virginia Street is Urbanna
Harbour Art Gallery and picture
framing (with antiques on consignment). The ABC store and
post office are a few steps away,
and across the street is ReSail
Boutique with upscale used
clothing. Next door is the Garden
Club with traditional and unusual
home furnishings and The Works
Bar and Grill, which is open late
Wednesdays through Saturdays
and for brunch on Sundays.
Connected to The Works is the
Chesapeake Inn with newlyrefurbished rooms.
A little further at 260 Virginia
Street is Lowe Tide, a boutique,
with “resort fashions for men,
women, children and your
home.”
On Cross Street there’s Marshall’s Drug with its soda fountain and lunch counter, which is
open daily, except on Sundays.
In the big green building at
51 Cross Street is Cross Street
Coffee and Cafe, open every day
except Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3
p.m. serving breakfast, lunch and
smoothies.
In the same building is “If It’s
Wood and More,” with custom
made wooden furniture and
wood carvings.
A few doors down in the red
building is Nimcock Gallery
with antiques, paintings, custom
picture framing, and art by Emily
Chowning, who is the proprietor.
The Pearl goes east to the end
of Virginia Street where it turns
around at Urbanna Creek. From
here the Urbanna Town Marina is
a short walk.
About a block behind Virginia
Street Cafe, at 160 Cross Street
is the 2nd Time Around Thrift
Shop. It’s open Wednesdays
through Saturdays from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Sales benefit the Central Middlesex Volunteer Rescue
Squad.
Get back on the trolley and
head to Colonial Pizza near the
Urbanna bridge. This is a good
place to depart and walk across
the bridge to enjoy the views of
Urbanna Creek.
Further along the route the
trolley stops at 260 Prince
George Street at Make Thyme,
which sells a variety of herbs,

Urbanna’s Trolley “The Pearl” resembles a train complete with
a “cow catcher” on the front.

It happened here
by Larry S. Chowning
I
n colonial times on the Northern Neck and Middle
Peninsula many households had a “brandy mill”
and an orchard. The orchards provided a variety
of fruits for sustenance and for producing homemade
brandy.
Peach and apple brandy for an evening toddy and
a glass of mint julep on a summer morn were part
of the area’s normal culture. The brandy was usually
distilled from homegrown apples and peaches on the
farm. Ingredients of the mint julep were bourbon,
sugar and water along with spearmint grown in the
family herb garden. Alcohol consumption was an
accepted part of colonial culture.
The price charged for spirits in colonial taverns was
regulated by the county courts.
The temperance movement in the 1820s and 1830s
was inspired by the churches of the Great Religious
Awakening (Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian),
and this led to the destruction of many a household
brandy mill.
One of the more active voices for the destruction
of the mills was Richard Claybrook, who was born in
King William County on October 8, 1785. He moved
to Middlesex County in 1810 and married Julia D.
Shepherd of Churchville, which is Church View today.
Claybrook served as pastor of Hermitage Baptist
Church from 1823 until his death in 1834. Although
the area’s temperance movement was growing during
his pastorate, he initially showed little interest in the
movement. His writings, however, would reveal what
changed him.
“I was recently cured of my opposition by this circumstance,” he wrote. “There was a member of our
church, who though in other respects was a good man,
occasionally drank too much. In view of this, I visited
him and he confessed his fault, appeared penitent,
promised to do better, and drink less in the future.
“I advised him to quit entirely. But he said to me,
‘Brother Claybrook, do you ever drink?’ Very little,
I said, I take a julep in the morning with my family
and a little toddy before dinner. Then he asked, ‘How
much do you drink a day on the average?’ Why, I
don’t know, said I, a half a gill (a unit equal to a quarter of a pint) or so. ‘Well really,’ he said. ‘That’s more
than I drink. If I were to drink that much I should be
drunk all day long. Your constitution may not be so
easily affected as mine, but Brother Claybrook, you
drink more than I do.’ I felt mortified and condemned
for asking him to do what I was not doing. From that
moment on, I was determined to use no more myself,
nor allow its use in my family. I’m determined not to
distill any more brandy.”
After this incident, Claybrook destroyed his brandy
mill and worked diligently to encourage others to take
an “axe or a maul” to their mills.
It happened right here in Rivah Country.

In 1958, The Association for
the Preser vation of Virginia Antiquities sponsored a study of
the building. Historian Wesley
Newton Laing’s research revealed that the structure was
not a warehouse but, rather, a
Scottish Colonial merchant factor store, where tobacco could
be traded for finished goods
from Europe. (Courtesy of Emily Chowning. Excerpt from “Images of America Urbanna” by

Did you know?
In its early years, the
Seabreeze
restaurant
used a portion of its building as a bait and tackle
shop since most of its
patrons were watermen,
anglers and boaters.

A dining gem tucked away
on scenic Gwynn’s Island
by Tom Hardin
“Why is every table taken and
people lined up outside the door waiting to get in?”
That’s the question that ran through
my mind as my wife Bev and I were
waiting to be seated at the Seabreeze
restaurant on Gwynn’s Island in
Mathews County one Friday evening
in June.
I soon found out . . . good food at
reasonable prices with a great view of
Milford Haven.
There’s nothing fancy about the
Seabreeze. Its customers are a mix of
locals and summer visitors of all ages.
The dress code is what I call “laidback boating attire.” T-shirts, shorts,
and flip-flops are everywhere, as are
smiling faces, happy chatter, and
plates full of fried and grilled seafood.
Our waitress recommended the
soft-shell crabs, crab cakes or scallops.
I was tempted to get my favorite—the
fried seafood platter—but I opted for
the “Seabreeze Specialty Crab Cakes”
with a dinner salad, green beans and
hush puppies. Bev got the fried scallops. We were pleased with the portions and the quality.
I had read online that the
Seabreeze’s seafood bisque was
excellent. I ordered a bowl and wolfed
it down. I have to say it rates with the
best soups I’ve ever eaten. I could
have made a meal on just the bisque
and hush puppies.
For dessert, we split a piece of delicious homemade coconut cream pie.
“All our seafood is fresh and most
of it is local,” said restaurant manager Leanna Galluzzi, whose parents,
Gary and Noelle Galluzzi, own the
Seabreeze. Leanna’s sister Dannielle
is assistant manager and also cooks.
“Our busiest time is May through
August when people start coming
down to visit, but we are able to
remain open year-around because of
the support of our local customers,”
said Leanna.
Menu
The Seabreeze offers breakfast,
lunch and dinner, so the menu is
extensive.
In addition to all types of seafood,
the dinner entrees include Delmonico,
country fried and hamburger steak,
fried and marinated chicken, and
liver with onions. There also is a kids
menu.
There are “seafood baskets” for
lunch or dinner, a variety of salads, a
long list of sandwiches, and numerous side dishes–all very reasonably
priced.
The breakfast menu ranges from
the standard two eggs with bacon-orsausage and toast ($4.25), to pancakes
and French toast ($3.75).
History
The Galluzzi family bought the
Seabreeze in November 2013 and
have kept the character of the restaurant intact. Gary said the only real
changes he has made are to modernize the restaurant equipment, install a
stereo system, begin serving beer and
wine, and accept credit cards.
The menu is the same as in the past.
“Why change something that is working?” he asked.
The previous owners, Mary and
the late Ralph Valdrighi of Mathews,
bought the restaurant in 1979 when it
was named The Haven Grille. They
changed the name to Seabreeze and
ran a thriving business there for over
30 years.
The restaurant, which is a stone’s
throw from the water of Milford
Haven, was destroyed by Hurricane
Isabel in 2003 and rebuilt by the Valdrighi family.
Gary and Noelle live in Booton,
New Jersey, which is close to New
York City. They own a helicopter
company and Gary is a helicopter
pilot. Several years ago he was flying
over the Chesapeake Bay area and
spotted Mathews County, and decided
that is where he wanted to live and
eventually retire. About 10 years
ago he began bringing his family to
Gwynn’s Island for summer vacations. And, of course, they became
regular patrons of the Seabreeze. So,
when the Seabreeze became available,
they bought it.
Gary said future plans include
adding outdoor seating in the grassy
area in front of the restaurant, and
installing outside lighting so outdoor
events can be held there.
The View
Perhaps the thing that separates
Seabreeze from most other good restaurants is “the view.” All 33 seats in
the main room have a clear view of
the water and of boaters coming and
going.
The front room of the Seabreeze
has a long 12-seat table that was built
by Mr. Valdrighi and was about the
only thing in the restaurant to survive
the wrath of Isabel. This table has
been a community hub for over 30
years as local watermen and islanders
frequently gather there to discuss the
latest happenings.
In front of the restaurant is a concrete boat landing that is owned by
the county and leased to the state. The
Seabreeze also has a pier for boaters
to “dock and dine.”
Inside, nautical decor and old
framed water-related photos and news
clippings add to the cozy atmosphere.
After dinner Bev and I drove the
two-lane road through Gwynn’s
Island and marveled at the beauty of
the surrounding Piankatank River,
Chesapeake Bay and Milford Haven.
No wonder people want to retire,
visit—and dine—on this little piece
of paradise.

The Fishing Line
July fishing frenzy
the fish and fishing holes
Fishing in Rivah country should
prove to be very exciting this
month. As July settles in, anglers
can look forward to a greater
variety and abundance of species
available for the taking.
Many of the same species available during June are also catchable
this month. They include croaker,
speckled trout, spot and flounder. Additionally, such species as
cobia, shark and Spanish mackerel
will bend poles during the month.
Cobia
Otherwise known as ling,
cobia are without a doubt the
most aggressive fighting fish in
the bay during July. Their maximum growth reaches a length of
almost 7 feet and a weight of over
100 pounds. They can be found in
many of the Chesapeake’s southern reaches including the Bay
Bridge Tunnel and bluefish rock.
Local hot spots include The Cut
channel, lower Tangier Sound and
atop channel edges from Windmill
Point up to the Southwest Middle
Grounds. Many of the edges are
the same areas where bluefish and
Spanish mackerel usually feed.
Catches have been very good thus
far and should continue to get
better into July. With the water
temperature having finally climbed
to near normal levels, there is good
potential for the remainder of the
summer. In order to receive a citation the fish must weigh a minimum of 45 pounds.
Cobia prefer live bait to artificial lures. The baits boasting the
best results are soft-shell crab, live
pencil eels, and small live spot.
The best way to present your bait
is on a stout hook and strong leader
floating freely in the current. One
preferred method is to float live
bait under a balloon or bobber.
Chumming is often incorporated
with live bait fishing and produces
surprisingly rewarding results.
Often small sharks are found in the
46 • Rivah • July 2015 chum lines as well. We’re not talking “Jaws” type of sharks, but the
2-3 foot long specimens provide a
nice diversity while fishing.
For using artificial lures, a strong
casting rod is preferred. Casting
large bucktails near structure and
around buoys such as those along
The Cut Channel located outside
of the Rappahannock River results
in good catches. When cobia are
caught by this method a good time
is sure to result.
Sharks
Sharks are not uncommon in
the Chesapeake Bay. Each year in
the late spring and early summer
dogfish sharks, which grow to a
length of 5 feet, and dusky sharks,
which grow up to 12 feet in length,
are caught by anglers in the lower
portion of the bay. In the middle
bay area, anglers can realistically
expect these fish to run in the 2-3
foot range. The mouth of Tangier
Sound, The Cut Channel, The Cell,
and other areas near the Bay Bridge
Tunnel are all good locations to
experience the thrill of catching
sharks. Because of their growing
popularity among anglers, catches
are limited to one shark per person
each day and many species such as
dusky are illegal to keep. Dogfish
have no limits. I suggest visiting
the VMRC website for specific
regulations on each species.
Sharks are usually caught while
fishing at or near the bottom.
In some cases, small sharks are
caught while retrieving a small
trout or spot on a bottom rig. This
results in snapped lines and lost
opportunities. When it is evident
that sharks are in the area, it is
wise to rig up accordingly. Shark
rigs consist of 2 feet or more of
steel leader or extra strong 100#
test monofilament line, which
leads to a 4/0-7/0 hook depending
on the size of sharks being found.

Lud Kimbrough displays the 39-inch cobia he caught on May 30 fishing
out of Jackson Creek in Deltaville. The fish was caught south of Cape

The Chesapeake Bay near Deltaville will be a sea of colorful sails during
the 17th Annual Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta on Friday
through Sunday, July 10-12.
Deltaville gears up for
Leukemia Cup Regatta
DELTAVILLE–The 17th Annual
Southern Chesapeake Leukemia
Cup Regatta on Friday through
Sunday, July 10-12. will again to
be based at Deltaville Maritime
Museum and Holly Point Nature
Park. Already, The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society is being
flooded with registrations from
racers around the Chesapeake Bay.
But it’s not too late to participate.
Registrations are being accepted
through Thursday, July 9, at leukemiacup.org/va, or register in
person on Friday night before the
event. And those who choose not to
be on the race course can register
in advance for festivities on Friday
and Saturday nights that will be fun
for the entire rivah family.
Friday evening will feature a
barbecue dinner hosted by Stingray
Harbour Yacht Club, and a skippers’ meeting, and music by the
dynamic duo of Mike & Ed.
The Saturday evening gala will
include a crab cake dinner by J&W
Seafood, silent and live auctions,
and music and dancing courtesy of
Jumbo Lump Daddy & the Backfin
Boys.
It is highly recommended that
online reservations be made in
advance for dinners, or drop by
J&W Seafood in Deltaville to purchase tickets and pick up a brochure. Tickets at the door may be in
short supply.
Because of the crowds expected
at this popular event, the Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society is making
an appeal for community volunteers to help organize and conduct
activities at the Deltaville Maritime
Museum. Any help will be much
appreciated. Contact volunteer
organizer, Emmett Toney at 804350-9123 or email him at etoney@
54 • Rivah • July 2015 va.metrocast.net for further details
on how to participate.
As in the past, two days of racing
activities will be organized through
the Fishing Bay Yacht Club. There
will be PHRF Spinnaker and NonSpinnaker Divisions, One-Design
Divisions, a Classic Division, and
a Cruising Division for a more
casual racing format. One-design
divisions of J/70s and Typhoons
and other fleets that register in sufficient numbers to qualify are gaining momentum.
A special opportunity is available
for docking boats at the Deltaville
Maritime Museum for those that
are able to navigate skinny waters.
Most motorized skiffs and launches
will find the museum accessible by
water; shallow-draft sailboats, such
as the Typhoons, and other sailboats
with centerboards or lifting keels,
should also have no problems with
the entrance channel.
However, a little due diligence
should be exercised before making
plans to arrive by water. Upon
entering Jackson Creek, at the
entrance of the Piankatank River,
follow the Mill Creek entrance to
the right just after passing green
day marker #5. Once past the serpentine entrance to Mill Creek,
more generous depths prevail on
the approach to the museum.
The Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta has raised almost
$2 million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society since the Regatta’s
inception and is typically honored as
one of the top Leukemia Cup fundraisers in the nation each year.
For more details, contact Ann
Flippin, senior campaign manager,
at 804-673-5690, ext. 6711, or ann.

Make way for osprey
by Minday Frost
URBANNA—Four years ago
a young osprey pair found the
bimini top on my sailboat on
Urbanna Creek to be a perfect
nesting site and they began to
slowly deposit branches atop it.
I never saw them doing this and
assumed the branches had fallen
from a nearby tree. I’d move the
branches only to find more the fol-
lowing day. Before long, a lifelong
resident of the area told me the
branches were the beginnings of
an osprey nest, and that it is illegal
to destroy a nest.
I quickly devised an osprey deterrent system made from aluminum
pie pans, brightly-colored strips
of Mylar and other “scary” items.
However, the ospreys simply incorporated them into their nest.
With little time to spare before
the female would lay eggs, I called
a dock builder and had a nesting
box installed adjacent to my boat.
One day after I installed the nesting box, my ospreys were busily
creating their new nest and within
days it contained eggs.
In the years since, this osprey
pair has arrived each March to
a sturdy nesting site where they
recover from their long migration
to breed and raise their young.
I’ve since encountered many
residents in situations similar to
mine and have continually encouraged waterfront landowners to
take a proactive stance, erect a nest
box and enjoy the many benefits of
osprey ownership. A quick internet search on ospreys will provide
one with a summer’s worth of
reading on these tenacious Chesapeake Bay icons.
Osprey, also called fish hawks,
are migratory birds that travel
several thousand miles each year
between their summer and winter
hunting and nesting grounds. Their
status as migratory birds affords
them protection under both federal
and state law, which means their
nests cannot be disturbed even if a
nest location is less than ideal for a
land or boat owner.
Make way for ospreys by erecting a nesting box.

Boys & Girls Club to raffle ‘Roo’ travel trailer
KILMARNOCK—A
deluxe
travel trailer suitable for years of
fabulous “road trip” vacations is
being raffled by the Boys and Girls
Club of the Northern Neck, with
the drawing of the lucky winner
scheduled for August 15.
Raffle tickets are $20 each, or
six for $100, and are available
now from the Boys and Girls Club
office at 517 North Main Street,
Kilmarnock. Tickets also will
be sold at community, civic, and
church functions.
“This is a great opportunity
to own a premium quality travel
trailer that a family can enjoy for
a long time,” said Philip Mumford,
the club’s executive director. “The
trailer is two years old, but is virtually unused and was donated by
a loyal supporter of the Boys &
Girls Club.”
The travel trailer is a 2013 Rockwood ROO Expandable model by
Forest River, the country’s largest producer of towable RVs. The
21-foot travel trailer has one auto
slider that expands the hard body
when parked, plus two canvas
“pop-outs,” which further extend
the living and sleeping space.
The light-weight trailer sleeps
four in comfort in two queen-size
beds. The couch and dinette area
table can convert to two single
beds. It comes with a full kitchen,
a bathroom, dining and seating
areas, a flat-screen television, storage compartments and a towing
unit.
An avid Boy Scout leader himself, Mumford said he particularly likes the camper’s spacious
“hybrid” design which means
occupants can sleep in comfort
and safety, but can also enjoy that
special feeling of “sleeping under
the stars” due to the fact that the
two pop-outs house queen-size
beds, surrounded with lightweight
canvas.
“When we took ownership of
the trailer, it was valued at over
$20,000 in the National Automotive Dealers Association guide. As
the new models are just coming
out, the suggested retail price
may have reduced slightly,” said
Mumford. “However, considering
the trailer’s excellent condition,
the transferable warranty, and the
optional extras, this is a wonderful
opportunity to support the Boys &
Girls Club in a small way, while
having the chance to win a very
valuable prize.”
The trailer is covered under a
transferable 5-year warranty to
November 2017.

Phillip Mumford displays the 21-foot Roo Raffle Travel Trailer.
“This is a completely ready-togo proposition,”said Mumford.
“The lucky winner can hitch up
the trailer and be camping over
the Labor Day weekend if not
before. And as they are driving
away, they will know they have
contributed to the Boys & Girls
Club of the Northern Neck by
providing badly needed funds for
our eight-week summer program
and to continue to help our local
youth achieve academic success,
develop upstanding character and
citizenship traits, and healthier
lifestyles.”
Only 1,000 tickets will be sold,
and the winner need not be present to win, he added. All original
documentation and booklets will
be provided to the winner and
assistance given with title transfer.

‘Kid’s Day’ is the theme
for July 20 farmers market
HEATHSVILLE—Bring the children and grandchildren to the
Heathsville Farmers Market on Saturday, July 20. This month’s
theme is “Kids’ Day!”
You can plan on a day of fun games and special activities geared
just for kids. Send the kids off on a “scavenger hunt.” Everybody
gets a special treat for participating. Decorate a spinning top at the
Woodworkers Guild.
Located on the grounds adjacent to Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s
Tavern at 73 Monument Place in Heathsville, the market is open
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Shoppers will find farm-fresh produce, bread
and baked goods, meat, cheese, honey, flowers, nursery plants and
handcrafts.
A number of vendors specializing in kid-related clothing and
toys also will participate, said market manager Corinne Anthony
Becker.
The Tavern Restaurant will be open with a focus on local sourcing and time-honored local Northern Neck recipes.
Ma Margaret’s House Culinary Service has partnered with the
Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern Foundation to be cooking in the
kitchen. Signature dishes at lunch include homemade sweet potato
biscuits stuffed with country ham, Alva’s Crabcakes, and Pam’s
Philly Cheese Steak. Breakfast offerings include sandwiches,
yogurt and fruit parfaits, and the House Blend Waterman’s coffee.
After eating, patrons can step next door to peruse the Tavern’s
Heritage Arts Center, which houses working artist studios, a gallery, and an artisans’ shop. This is where you’ll find the unusual
and the one-of-a-kind.

25th annual Heritage of America Band concert slated August 25 in Irvington
IRVINGTON—The U.S. Air Force
Heritage of America Band will return to
Irvington on August 25.
This year the concert will not kick off
local Independence Day celebrations,
as has often been the case, because of
increased demand for the band’s performances from cities and towns along
the Eastern Seaboard, reported Paula
McNulty.
The full band of over 40 musicians and
vocalists will perform on Irvington Commons at 7 p.m., playing traditional and
patriotic favorites.
The concert band is the largest of the
eight ensembles the U.S. Air Force supports to play for audiences as varied as
U.S. presidents and foreign heads of
state.
The band also has been a cherished
and respected fixture on the Irvington
social calendar for the past 24 years, said
McNulty. This year’s concert marks the
full band’s 25th annual visit to Irvington
and, for this reason, the concert has been
dubbed “The 25th on the 25th.”
The concert band has a rich history
of inspiring hearts and minds and building and sustaining American patriotism.
Over the past few years, the band’s area
of geographic operational responsibility has expanded from six states prior to
2009 to 15 states, stretching from Maine
to South Carolina on the East Coast, as
well as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The Irvington Village Improvement
Association (VIA) is producer and sponsor of the concert.
“It’s understandable why the USAF
organizers felt they needed to move
the annual Irvington concert to later in
the summer to accommodate the band’s
even busier holiday schedule, and the
demands of serving audiences in major
cities across a larger territory,” said
Dermot McNulty, who heads up the VIA.
In August, the band will perform
orchestral classics, marches, Broadway
hits, jazz standards, movie music and
patriotic favorites.
“Having the full Air Force Concert
Band come to our little town is always a
thrill,” said Jill Worth, a longtime concert
volunteer organizer. “All of us who have
attended these wonderful concerts have
been honored, as well as lucky, to have
had the full band coming here. We’re so
pleased we are on their busy schedule
again this year for August.”

Essex County
History
Essex County’s history in written form
dates from Captain John Smith’s visit during the winter of 1607-08, when he wrote
of the “excellent, pleasant, fertile, and
navigable” Rappahannock Valley.
In 1645 Bartholomew Hoskins patented
the Tappahannock site, which became
known at various times as Hobbs His Hole,
Hobb’s Hole, the short-lived New Plymouth, and the Indian name Tappahannock.
The port town was to become a center of
commerce during the 17th and 18th centuries, establishing a crossroads.
The county came into being in 1692
when Old Rappahannock County, which
once encompassed at least 50 modern
counties in Virginia and West Virginia, was
divided along the river with the north side
becoming Richmond County and the south
becoming Essex.
During Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676,
armed men gathered near Piscataway
Creek and defeated Governor Berkeley’s
cavalrymen. Later they prevailed in the
Dragon Swamp, but eventually English warships and troops suppressed the uprising.
Frontier patrols, however, were maintained
against hostile northern Indians into the
early 1700’s.
The British Stamp Act of 1765 led
directly to the American Revolution, and it
erners, Americans: The History of Essex
County, Virginia 1608–1984,” recounts in
detail the county’s 350-year-old story. The
book is available at the county administrator’s office.
Today Essex has a population of 9,989
and Tappahannock is one of the largest
commercial centers in the region.

was in Tappahannock that one of the first
confrontations occurred.
Leading merchant Archibald Ritchie, who
supported the Stamp Act, was labeled as
“the greatest enemy of his country.” On
February 27, 1766, gentlemen from nine
counties gathered at Leedstown to draft
the “Resolutions” that led Virginians to dis-
obey Parliament. They also made plans to
publicly humiliate Ritchie and the Scottish
merchant Archibald McCall. These events
occurred seven years before the Boston
Tea Party.

Gloucester County
History
Exploration of what would become
Gloucester County began soon after
1607 when Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New
World, was star ted 25 miles to its
south.
Gloucester County was formed in
1651 from York County. It contained
Kingston Parish, which became
Mathews County in 1791.
Gloucester was home to several wellknown persons including Pocahontas,
daughter of Indian Chief Powhatan.
According to legend, she petitioned
her father to spare the life of English
explorer Captain John Smith, who was
one of the first white men to see the
area in the early 1600s.
Another infamous resident was
Nathaniel Bacon who, in 1676, led a
force of planters against the Indians.
Bacon’s Rebellion defeated the Indians and then attempted to make the
governor reform colonial policies. His
army burned Jamestown and he briefly
controlled the colony before his death
ended the revolt.
For tified during Bacon’s Rebellion,
Gloucester Point is just across the
York River from Yorktown, site of the
British surrender to end the American
Revolution.
Originally called Tyndall’s Point,
with 34,500 residents.

When Jamestown was burned by
Bacon in 1676, the Virginia Executive Council considered moving the
state capital to Tyndall’s Point, but
the motion was rejected. Jamestown
remained the state capital until it was
shifted to Williamsburg.
In 1769, the new county seat, Botetour t Towne (old town Gloucester),

Lancaster County
History
back in time.
Indians occupied the Northern Neck
for some 10,000 years before Capt. John
Smith sailed up the Rappahannock River in
1608. The Powhatan Confederate was represented here by the Moraughtacunds and
the Cuttatawomen tribes. A short 43 years
later, Lancaster County was established
from neighboring Northumberland.
Families of notable influence in the social, political and economic climate of the
colonies built magnificent “empires” here,
and family names like Carter and Ball still
are prevalent today.
Robert “King” Carter (1663–1732) of
Corrotoman Plantation (in Weems) was the
son of immigrant John Carter. He acquired
over 300,000 acres with some 1,000
slaves working his various properties.
Married twice, “King” Carter fathered
15 children. Among his descendants were
eight governors of Virginia, three signers of
the Declaration of Independence, two presidents, leader of the confederate armies
Gen. Robert E. Lee, and a Supreme Court
Justice.
Carter is buried alongside his wives at
the church he built near Irvington, Historic
Christ Church.
The Ball family, meanwhile, established
themselves at Millenbeck and Epping

Mathews County
History
Mathews County was an established shipbuilding center for the
Chesapeake Bay when it broke away
from Gloucester in 1791 to become a
separate county.
About that time, 12 sailing ships
over 20 tons each were built in a single
year in Mathews, which the Chiskiake
Indians had called Werowocomico.
Between 1790 and 1820, approximately a third of the ships built in Virginia came from Mathews. The sharp,
fast vessels, popularly known as Baltimore Clippers, were built throughout
the Chesapeake Bay region. Before
the War of 1812, these fast ships
were simply known as “Virginia built.”
From 1802 to 1844, Mathews was
an of ficial por t of entr y for the registration and enrollment of ships. During this period, 10,000 vessels called
at the “Por t of East River.” The customs house stood at Williams Whar f
(marker 13), which was a center of
maritime activity until the steamers
quit running in the 1940s.
Cricket Hill, near Gwynn’s Island,
was the site of one of the last naval
engagements of the Revolutionar y
War. In June 1776, Continental forces
bombarded the British fleet and encampment on Gwynn’s Island. Lord

was driven from the colony, ending
British rule in Virginia.
When water was the highway, boats
were the standard means of travel. The
arrival of steamships at Williams Wharf
with cargo from Norfolk, Newport News
or Baltimore was a daily highlight.
World War II put most of the steamboat lines out of business. In 1942
the government requisitioned most of
the bay and coastal steamers for ser-
vice in the war ef for t.
The last remaining steamboat line,
the Old Bay Line, stopped its York River to Baltimore run in 1942. About 20
years later, the Old Bay Line dropped

and Nor folk. The steamers stopped
for good in the spring of 1962.

Middlesex County
History
Middlesex County was formed around
1669 from Lancaster County, making it
one of the oldest English settlements in
the United States. Many plantation homes
still stand from the Colonial era.
Bordered by the Rappahannock and
Piankatank rivers and the Chesapeake
Bay, much of its history centers around the
water. The town of Urbanna was formed
in 1680 as a center for shipping tobacco
from surrounding plantations.
Urbanna was the county seat until 1852
when it was moved to Saluda. Throughout
the county are homes built in the 1700s.
Wartime stories abound dating back to the
Revolutionary and Civil wars. During these
wars, plantations such as Providence and
Rosegill were bombarded and looted.
Stingray Point near Deltaville gained immortal fame as the spot where Captain
John Smith was nearly killed by a stingray.
Three centuries ago ships from London,
Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow were common sights on Urbanna Creek. Just across
the creek from Urbanna is Rosegill, one of
the oldest plantations in America. Home to
five generations of Wormeleys, it was for
many years a center of influence in the Colony and a power in the political and commercial life of this area.
During the Civil War, General George Mc-
lusks every November.

into the Piankatank River. It serves as the border between Middlesex County and the three
counties of Gloucester, King and Queen and Essex.
Don’t Miss
Clellan formulated a plan of attack to take
Richmond starting from Urbanna. Named
the Urbanna Plan, it was never instituted.
In 1862, several Yankee warships bombarded the town but legend has it that
the only thing the Yanks killed was an old
hare. One of the cannonballs did hit the old
courthouse, which today is the Middlesex
Woman’s Club building on Virginia St.
During the bombardment, townsfolk con-
gregated on the creek bank at the current
site of the Urbanna Bridge. Legend has it
an old man stood at the hilltop and whenever he saw a flash of a cannon firing would
scream “squat” and the townsfolk would
squat to the ground.

Northumberland County
History
Government
Northumberland County is called the
Mother County of the Northern Neck.
Settled by the English in 1648,
Northumberland was officially established
by an act of the Burgesses in Jamestown
in 1648. It was later divided into three additional counties, Lancaster, Richmond and
Westmoreland Counties.
At its heart is Heathsville, the county
seat. Located between the headwaters of
the Coan and the Great Wicomico rivers, in
1679 it was chosen as the site of the county courthouse. The building was completed
and county justices were moved in 1681.
In 1797, citizens established a 20-acre
town around the courthouse square naming it in honor of citizen leader John Heath
who lived just down the road at Springfield,
an historic plantation mansion still standing and occupied today.
In 1992, the National Register of Historic
Places designated Heathsville an Historic
District, along with the original courthouse
and tavern, now a restaurant, gift shop and
museum. The courthouse square also includes a blacksmith shop, transportation
museum, old jail and carriage house.
Northumberland was once dependent
upon tobacco as its major cash crop and
currency. Later, most of its residents relied
on the water for their livelihoods. Today,
there are many charter boat captains. And

Richmond County
History
Known as the Gateway to the Northern
Neck, Richmond County was established
in 1692 from the old Rappahannock
County.
Originally explored by Captain John
Smith in 1607–1608, the county
was settled in 1640 when people migrated up from settlements below the
Rappahannock River. It was presumably
named after the First Duke of Richmond,
cousin to both King William III and Queen
Mary. One of the early settlers was Colonel Moore Fauntleroy, who patented land
in the county in 1650.
The first county seat was thought to be
at the mouth of Little Carter’s Creek, then
moved to Naylors, an early river settlement. The seat moved inland in 1730
and was renamed the Richmond County
Courthouse. In 1831, the name was
changed to Warsaw in sympathy with the
Polish struggle for independence. Warsaw
was incorporated as the county’s only
town in 1947.
The Downing Bridge was built across
the Rappahannock River in 1927, connecting Richmond County to Essex and
opening up travel to and from the Northern Neck. The bridge replaced 200 years
of ferry service and was dedicated by
Sen. Thomas Downing of the Northern
county seat of Warsaw is currently the
headquarters for many regional government agencies as well as a community
college, vocational center and regional
jail.
Government

Court Circle in Warsaw. 333-3415.

Neck.
Richmond County was home of the last
president elected under the Articles of
Confederation. In 1788, Judge Cyrus Griffin was elected president of the U.S. Congress Assembly and held that position
until the U.S. Constitution was adopted
and his successor, George Washington,
was elected as the first U.S. President.
William A. Jones gained recognition for
Richmond County in 1916 when, in supporting self-government for all people, he
authorized a bill that guaranteed independence for the Philippines. In 1926, the
people of the Philippines erected a memorial at Jones’ gravesite in the St. John’s
Episcopal Churchyard in Warsaw.
Today Richmond County has a population of 9,300. Serving as the crossroads
of U.S. Route 360 and State Route 3, the

Westmoreland County
History
Established in 1653 by the colonial
government in Jamestown, Westmoreland
County was named for a British shire. The
county’s most significant contributions to
history include its fostering of more statesmen than any other county in the country,
and for the Leedstown Resolutions.
Considered the forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, the Leedstown
Resolutions were signed in February,
1766. Prepared by Richard Henry Lee,
the document was signed by 115 patriots
who bound themselves together “To Prevent The Execution of The Stamp Act.”
Stratford Hall was the boyhood home
of Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, signers of the Declaration of
Independence.
General Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee
was a Revolutionary War hero and served
as one of General George Washington’s
most trusted officers. He is the father of
Robert E. Lee.
General Robert E. Lee was born in 1807
at Stratford Hall. Lee was a colonel in the
U. S. Army when the Civil War broke out.
Offered the command of the Union Army,
Lee declined because he “could take no
part in an invasion” of his homeland.
Most notable among the statesmen of
Westmoreland, George Washington was
born at Popes Creek in 1732.
