Museum’s annual meeting set for Sunday at MC Historic Courthouse

The 2025 annual meeting of the board of directors and membership of the Middlesex County Museum and Historical Society is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, at the Middlesex County Historic Courthouse at 865 General Puller Highway in Saluda.

Attendees will discuss the past year in review, obtain an overview of new accessions acquired this year, review new exhibits that were installed, and look at budget and financial information.

Upon completion, they will move to the downstairs foyer of the historic building and tour the newly completed exhibit on the American Revolution in Middlesex, “On the Road to Freedom.” Museum Executive Director Holly Horton will guide this special tour and discuss local soldiers and residents and the parts that they played in the unfolding conflict.

As a special treat for member attendees, organizers will additionally have a special viewing of the original land grant documents given to two patriots as payment for their service during the war. These documents were recently conserved through a generous grant from Preservation Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula and copies of them are included as part of the public exhibit “On the Road to Freedom.”
