Tappahannock

By Karin Andrews

VIRGINIA

Her early “historie” and present day offerings

T Hotel Bagby, circa early 20th century 14

he name “Rappahannock” literally means “rise and fall of water.” Thus, the name “Tappahannock” means “on the rise and fall of the waters” or in a more relevant present-day paraphrase, “town at the edge of where the water ebbs and flows.”

The river was then as now the center of commerce, culture, transportation and communication between the various tribes, in addition to being an abundant source of food. We can only imagine the pristine beauty, clear waters and wild beauty that Captain Smith found on his voyage up the Rappahannock.

Indeed, the Rappahannock River is as important to us in many ways as it was to our ancient predecessors and forebearers.

Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

Captain Smith also encountered (on his first visit) a less than friendly reception when he and his small band of explorers and their Native American guide “Mosco” were ambushed by a group of Rappahannock Indians hiding incognito in the bushes and marshes near Tappahannock. As news traveled quickly by river, the Rappahannocks were greatly irritated and offended that Captain Smith had accepted the hospitality of a rival tribe on the other side of the river. After the initial ambush, Smith and his band regained their bearings and fought back as recorded in this excerpt from his log: “The next morning we went up the river and our friend Mosco followed us along the shore and at last desired to go with us in our boat. But as we passed by Pisacack, Matchopeak and Mecuppom—three towns situated upon high white, clay cliffs, the other side all a low-plain marsh, and the river there but narrow—thirty or forty of the Rappahannocks had so accommodated themselves with branches as we took them for little bushes growing among the sedge, still seeing their arrows strike the targets and dropped in the river; whereas Mosco [Smith’s Indian guide] fell flat in the boat on his face, crying “THE RAPPAHANNOCKS!” which presently we espied to be in the bushes; which at our first volley fell down into the sedge. When we were near half a mile from them, they showed themselves, dancing and singing very merrily.”

THE FIRST LAND IS PATENTED AND A TIMELINE BEGINS In 1645, Bartholomew Hoskins patented the land that included what would become present day Tappahannock.

In the 1650s, Virginia’s population nearly doubled as colonists, settlers, planters, tradesmen, servants and the like settled along the shores and lands that bordered the Rappahannock. The area we know as Tappahannock was settled and conquered by people from diverse backgrounds and countries of origin who equally share in what has made this area what it is today.

With the Colonial economy eventually shattered due to reliance solely on one The House & Home Magazine

DeShield’s Ferry, circa 1927 crop (tobacco) and other contributing factors, the Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law in 1680 requiring that each county in Virginia establish a town. This action was taken in part to diversify the economy and to help settle the “frontier.”

On March 25, 1682, a suitable site was purchased (in present day Essex) from Thomas and Benjamin Goodrich for 10,000 pounds of tobacco. The land was divided into half acre squares and established as a port and customs town for river traffic and trade activities, although a trading post run by Jacob Hobbs and a village known as “Hobbes his hole” or “Hobbs Hold” had already

been established. It is believed that the name “Hobbs his hole” or “Hobbs Hold” referred to the trading post being run by Jacob Hobbs with the land being held by patent or land grant.

In 1706, the town lots and streets were mapped out by Harry Beverley and included the same names in use to this very day, such as: Prince, Cross, Queen, and Marsh Streets. Other present-day names include Church and Water Lanes.

The colonial town of Tappahannock was a thriving port with all of the industry and services necessary to support it, such as taverns, shops, lodging, warehouses, blacksmiths, porters and more.

15

THE NAME “TAPPAHANNOCK” MEANS, “TOWN AT THE EDGE OF WHERE THE WATER EBBS AND FLOWS.”

TAPPAHANNOCK AND THE STAMP ACT We often and most notably think of the Boston Tea Party as the first demonstrative protest to “taxation without representation,” however, protests against British tyranny and the Stamp Act took place here (in Tappahannock) seven years before the famed Boston Tea Party! The Leedstown Resolutions were signed shortly thereafter calling for all Virginians to disobey the British Crown and Parliament. Support for American independence had taken hold in Colonial Tappahannock with these first murmurings of independence.

One of the wealthiest merchants of the day, who initially supported the Stamp Act but later rescinded his support in the interest of self-preservation, was Archibald Ritchie. His well-appointed complex was comprised of three main buildings—all connected by covered walkways—gardens, stables, kitchens, dependencies and a tavern store. One of the wealthiest merchants of his day, he controlled much of the trade in and out of Tappahannock. A portion of his complex 16

Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

remains on Prince Street, as a prominent reminder of our Colonial past.

The original paneling from the Ritchie House now resides in the Tappahannock Room at the Winterthur Museum of American Decorative Arts in Delaware. Jesse Ball DuPont, a Northern Neck native and part-time resident of Tappahannock, purchased the interior paneling decades ago so that it would be preserved for future generations. The Ritchie House is now a law office. The conference room addition, finished in 2006, contains a 43-foot-long panoramic mural depicting Prince Street, the Ritchie House and the Port of Tappahannock as it might have appeared in the 1760s.

With the independence of the American Colonies won at Yorktown in October of 1781, the British made one last assault on Tappahannock in 1814 by shelling and invading the town and burning numerous structures, homes and buildings.

Old Ritchie House

THE EPITOME OF VIRGINIA TIDEWATER HOSPITALITY AND CULTURE IS REBORN For decades after the Revolutionary War, Tappahannock languished with a population of about two hundred persons, until prosperity and growth took a foothold once again in the late 1830s. Steamboat service, which began in 1828, combined with the opening of the first bank in Tappahannock, once again returned the port town to her rightful place as one of the loveliest and most influential little towns on the Rappahannock.

The businesses in town existed to serve surrounding farms which had learned to replenish the soil and diversify their crops. Tappahannock once again became a business center.

Although there are numerous “missing icons” of Tappahannock’s grand and genteel past, such as Mrs. Lucy Gray’s School, aka Monument Place, the old Riverside Hotel and the Old Daingerfield House, efforts are underway in Tappahannock to preserve and revitalize our historic downtown. Homes such as the Anderton House, Brockenbrough House, Roane-Wright-Trible House and more still remain intact and are as lovely today as they were when they were first built. Several of these grand Colonial era buildings along Water Lane are now part of St. Margaret’s School.

The Roane-Wright-Trible house is now the highly acclaimed Essex Inn and, of course, the Old Customs House remains; as does Emerson’s Ordinary, the Debtors’ Prison and Old Clerk’s Office. A second Courthouse, built in 1848, stands in all of her roman revival glory, as a witness to the prominence and affluence of Essex in the nineteenth century. The classic Gothic revival architecture of St. John’s Church and the Old Beale Memorial Church bears witness as well to the faith of our town fathers and mothers.

If time travel were possible, visitors from the past would surely know they were in Tappahannock by the many dwellings still remaining. Every age in Tappahannock has made its mark on our architectural heritage, for better or for worse.

TRANSPORTATION ADVANCES THE LOCAL ECONOMY

Essex High School

IN 1927 THE FIRST DOWNING BRIDGE WAS OPENED WHICH PERMANENTLY LINKED TAPPAHANNOCK AND THE NORTHERN NECK

Aerial view of the Old Downing Bridge opening, February 16, 1927 18

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the primary mode of transportation was by sail and horsepower. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sail power was supplemented and, in some cases, replaced by steamboat travel and shipping technologies, which revolutionized the ability of farmers and watermen to ship their products to faraway places without fear of spoilage. Tappahannock was strategically located with a fantastic natural harbor that elevated her once again to her rightful place of prominence in the Rappahannock River Valley. Now linked with the entire Chesapeake Bay Region and beyond, the area’s families, businesses and farmers had the ability to have broader buying and selling choices.

It was a faster and more fashionable mode of travel for excursions to Norfolk and Baltimore. It became an event to purchase all sorts of necessary things, like furniture, fabrics and more.

The steamboats discontinued their service in the late 1930s as the railroad and roadways linked Tappahannock and surrounding areas with Richmond, Fredericksburg and Williamsburg.

The very last remaining pilings of Tappahannock’s old steamboat wharf can still be seen, if one knows where to look and oh, the stories that have been told over the years about those steamboat Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

excursions and the old landing itself!

In 1927 the first Downing Bridge was opened which permanently linked Tappahannock and the Northern Neck —making the ferry boats which carried passengers and their automobiles from one side of the river to the other obsolete. In 1963, the present-day bridge was opened, replacing the earlier bridge of 1927. I cannot think of anything today that might possibly compare with these monumental transportation developments in Tappahannock’s past.

TAPPAHANNOCK’S COMMERCIAL DISTRICT MOVES Some things never change and Tappahannock’s prominence as a crossroads and thoroughfare for travelers and merchants is still one that ensures that the local economy will continue. As land in Tappahannock becomes more and more scarce, it becomes necessary to make wise choices regarding how the town will utilize its remaining lands and growth in the future.

For decades the downtown portion of Tappahannock was a thriving community in its own right where the people of Tappahannock, Essex and those passing through would transact all sorts of business, from grocery shopping and banking, to the buying of fine clothing, household items, bridal couture and hardware. Downtown Tappahannock on Prince Street had it all! Culturally the town was close- knit with big community days held each year.

Mayor Roy Gladding fondly remembers when rescue squad members would stand at the only stoplight in town with minnow nets and ask passing cars for donations.

“We’d ask for passersby to put in their change and donations to go toward the rescue squad. That’s how we raised money back in those days and how much times have changed, in some ways. We also had boat races in Tappahannock in front of the Southside Hotel, at Richmond Beach and in front of Harry T’s. The Fire Department had its annual carnival and every year the local dealers would give away an automobile. It was a huge fundraiser and a big community day!”

For those of us who can remember the downtown district and how much was available there, we can also remember The House & Home Magazine

Theater, Anderton’s Department Store and Lankford’s. Another shopping center was built which housed Roses, Safeway, Hicklin-Coleman Clothing and other retail outlets, which have long since gone by the wayside. The commercial hub of Tappahannock eventually moved to where it is remains today—along U.S. 17.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS THE QUALITY OF WATER AND LIFE AROUND TAPPAHANNOCK

Tappahannock’s Mayor believes that “the townspeople know best what to do with their own money” and is a big proponent of small and limited government. He goes on to say that “a big part of my job as mayor, is to explain why our local government does the things that it does, on issues like the meal tax that was approved by the town council or the relocation of the airport.

“Tax dollars generated by the meal tax have gone toward offsetting the cost of Tappahannock’s wastewater treatment facility that would have been passed on to the citizens of Tappahannock otherwise.

As it is, the motels, hotels, restaurants and eateries are large users of our water treatment and water supply system. For the most part, they cater to people and entities that do not live here. The meals tax was the best and fairest way of passing on the cost of providing clean water in a way that would not saddle the town citizens with an unfair tax burden.

“Tappahannock is just about built out. As there is very little room for future R-3 and R-4 development, the old airport site provides fifty-two acres of land that can be utilized for future light industrial applications. Down the road we see the county allowing development west of town on 360 going towards Richmond and around Bray’s Fork. We are anticipating these future needs by applying to the Commonwealth now, for a future well permit. The old airport location on Airport Road has freed up valuable land that the town of Tappahannock can develop—adding jobs for the future.”

IN CLOSING Tappahannock offers education through both public and private schools, ample available housing and an infrastructure that is looking toward the future in a way 20

Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

that protects the quality of water and life around Tappahannock. Opportunities for recreation, antiquing, local cuisine, walking tours and relaxation characterize Tappahannock and Essex County as a “go to” destination.

Although growing and responding to the needs of its citizens in a proactive way, Tappahannock has retained enough of its rural charm to remain appealing to come here’s, come back here’s, natives and visitors alike. Ideally situated on U.S. Route 17 between Fredericksburg and Newport News and one hour from Richmond, Tappahannock continues to be a crossroads and main thoroughfare. The community spirit that once characterized this lovely tidewater town is being revived with each passing year.

The Essex County Museum has done a wonderful job in preserving the past historical record and tangible items from our past. Although a complete record may never be possible, they are off to a great start. Who knows what great things yet await the museum?

The Main Street Committee has identified specific project plans for the future that can help transform Tappahannock’s once thriving downtown —one section at a time. A cultural arts center is also something that may one day find a home in Tappahannock.

In closing, there is perhaps no other street in all of Tidewater Virginia (to me) as lovely as Water Lane—any time of year. The backdrop of the Rappahannock River combined with the centuries old The House & Home Magazine

HOW TAPPAHANNOCK GOT ITS NAME ...

I

n the summer of 1608, this area was first visited

by Captain John Smith. The area was inhabited

by Native Americans, and when Captain Smith attempted to land here he was fiercely driven back to his ship. It was a Native American village, and so he gave both the river and the village Native American names. The river became known as the Rappahannock, which meant “rise and fall” of water, and the village, set upon it, became Tappahannock, 22

which means “town on the rise and fall of water”.

In the mid 1600s, a trading post was established by Jacob Hobbs. For a few years, the area was known as Hobb’s His Hole and later as New Plymouth.

Eventually, the original name was returned in 1705.

On and around the water still remain thirteen homes and buildings from these early days of Tappahannock.

1) BEALE MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH (the 1728 Court House) is largely Greek Revival. The 1728 courthouse contains the original walls of the old courthouse. In 1875, the Tappahannock Baptists organized Centennial Baptist Church.

The building had been the scene in 1774 of the trial and sentencing to jail of four Baptist ministers for “preaching and expounding the Scriptures contrary to law.”

Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

ornate paneling in the house was removed in the 1930s and is now on permanent display in the Tappahannock and Essex Rooms at the Winterthur Museum in Wilmington, Delaware. The house was recently fully restored and is now the law offices of Dillard and Katona Attorneys and may be open by appointment.

Historic Landmarks survey states that the Anderton family added the southern wing in the 1890s, and that St. Margaret’s added the balancing wing in 1971 and more recently, in 1988, the school added another wing to house faculty apartments and students accommodation. This building is not open to the public.

5) THE OLD DEBTORS’ PRISON on the courthouse green next to the Essex County Courthouse was built prior to 1769. It now serves as the Essex Treasurer’s Office.

11) MCCALL- BROCKENBROUGH HOUSE Archibald McCall bought the lot from Robert Beverley in 1763 and built or heavily renovated an existing house. McCall, a successful merchant and county justice, remained loyal to Britain. He favored the British Stamp Act that inflamed Essex in 1766. Some of the county’s foremost gentlemen led a mob into McCall’s house. The McCall family fled to Britain for the duration of the war, returned afterward and restored his business and social standing. The Brockenbrough family purchased the property in 1813. It is now private offices on the campus of St. Margaret’s School.

6) ESSEX COUNTY COURTHOUSE was built in 1848 to replace the old courthouse (the old Beale Memorial Baptist Church). A 1926 renovation added a bell and clock tower. The Essex Courthouse contains the oldest records in Virginia, James B. Slaughter’s recent history of the area, Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of Essex County, Virginia 1608-1984, recounts in detail the county’s 350-year-old story. The courthouse has long contained the largest portrait collection in the county.

7) THE OLD CLERK’S OFFICE was built in 1808 next door to the courthouse.

It is now the home of the Essex Women’s Club.

2) CUSTOMS HOUSE dates from the early 1800s and located at the foot of Prince Street. Archibald Ritchie owned the lot. At the site, John Whitlock operated Whitlock’s Ordinary in the 1760s and 1770s. It is now a private home.

3) SCOTS ARMS TAVERN, c. 1680, has been owned continuously by the Derieux family for more than a century. It is now a private residence.

4) RITCHIE HOUSE, c. 1706, at the northeast corner of Prince and Cross Streets, reflects Archibald Ritchie’s leading role in Tappahannock in the decades before and after the Revolution. The The House & Home Magazine

8) HENLEY HOUSE (Emerson’s Ordinary), c. 1718. The original section had a center chimney and was probably built in the 1710s. The Emerson family began operating the tavern after purchasing the property in 1757. Grand fireplaces dominate both ends of the house. It is now a private residence under restoration.

9) ROANE - WRIGHT -TRIBLE HOUSE, a brick Georgian mansion built about 1850 by Dr. Lawrence Roane, is now the Essex Inn, an authentically restored country inn.

10) ANDERTON HOUSE, an early plantation house on St. Margaret’s School campus, one of the oldest occupied tracts in Tappahannock. Thought to have been built about the same time as the Brockenbrough house, circa 1760, the Anderton House takes its name from the family who owned it in 1947, when it was purchased by St. Margaret’s. The Virginia

12) ST. MARGARET’S HALL Prior to 1850, Dr. Thomas Gordon is known to have built the center portion of what is now St. Margaret’s Hall. The property was purchased by Judge T.R.B. Wright in 1876 and acquired by the school in 1921 from his widow. The wings were added immediately to accommodate all the various aspects of boarding school life. In 1944, the reading room wing was enlarged, and in 1975 the chapel and library were extended. However, the Gordon-Wright residence, with its high ceilings, many-paned large windows, and wide-board floors, although now enclosed by additions, remains essentially as originally built. The building now houses the main St. Margaret’s School administrative center including the head’s office, reception rooms, classrooms, chapel, music and art studios.

13) ST. JOHN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, built in 1849 under the rectorship of the Rev. John Peyton McGuire, is the only purely Gothic Revival structure in the county. St. John’s is one of the earliest churches of this style in Virginia. Shown by appointment.

RIVERSIDE HEALTH SYSTEM IN TAPPAHANNOCK AND ON THE NORTHERN NECK

MAKING A CARE DIFFERENCE Close to Home

T

here’s a reason so many families choose to settle and work, live and play in Tappahannock and on the Northern Neck.

Tappahannock itself, a wonderful and historic small town located on the banks of the Rappahannock River, has a relaxing, laid-back feel with a culture and heritage tied deeply to the water that surrounds it.

Just across the Rappahannock River from Tappahannock, nestled on the Chesapeake Bay, lies the Northern Neck.

Filled with historic homes, farmland and waterfront, it’s a place where generations have lived and played off the land and waters.

People love it here, and want to build their life here.

And when it comes to building a life, few things are as important as ensuring access to quality health care close to home.

That’s where Riverside Health System comes in.

24

HOSPITAL AND ACUTE CARE SERVICES Anchored by the Riverside Tappahannock Hospital, Riverside is proud to feature inpatient and outpatient services ranging from traditional hospital care to intensive care, including sophisticated diagnostics, home care and physician specialists in most fields.

The 67-bed hospital primarily cares for citizens in the Tappahannock area, including Essex, King & Queen and King William counties, and the Northern Neck counties of Richmond, Westmoreland, Northumberland, and Lancaster.

A wide array of services are available at the hospital and on the medical campus, including:

»» Colonoscopy »» Low dose CT scans used to screen for tumors in the lungs Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

H E A L T H »» »» »» »»

»» »» »» »»

Mammography (including 3D mammography) Ultrasound MRI Cardiac testing, including echocardiographs, EKGs, stress testing and holter monitors Diagnostic laboratory services Physical therapy Cancer care, including an on-site infusion center Ambulatory surgery

when it comes to building a life, few things are as important as ensuring access to quality health care close to home.

HOSPICE AND SPECIALIZED END-OF-LIFE CARE

The hospital’s affiliation with Riverside Health System allows the team there to bring physician specialists and a level of technology not usually available in a hospital of its size or in such a small rural community.

EMERGENCY SERVICES Emergencies happen, and when they do, the Riverside emergency department at Riverside Tappahannock Hospital is there. With highly trained physicians and staff and access to high-level diagnostic services and testing, Riverside clinicians can quickly address serious or life-threatening conditions.

URGENT CARE AND SPECIALTY PRACTICES In addition to the acute care hospital, the medical campus in Tappahannock includes M.D. Express, an urgent care practice, and six specialty practices for patients in need of gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, pain management, and physical therapy.

FAMILY MEDICINE AND PRIMARY CARE Riverside operates four primary care practices throughout the region, including: »» »» »» »»

King William Medical Center Tappahannock Family Practice Warsaw Medical Arts (with pediatrics) Callao Medical Arts

LONG-TERM CARE AND ACTIVE LIVING AT EVERY AGE The Orchard, a Riverside property located across the Rappahannock River in Warsaw, offers four types of residences for older adults:

• Magnolia Manor provides assisted living for individuals and couples who are independent and in good health, but need some assistance.

• Dogwood Manor offers long-term 24-hour nursing care for residents who need around-the-clock support.

• The Garden provides specialized memory care in a safe, secure community for residents experiencing memory impairment.

• Riverside Rehabilitation Center is a dedicated program for patients recovering from illness, injury or a hospital stay, with a focus on returning to their normal routines.

The House & Home Magazine

If there’s any aspect of the care and personalized attention offered by Riverside that most embodies the Riverside mission – to care for others as we would care for those we love – it’s hospice.

Hospice in Tappahannock and on the Northern Neck is a closely supervised program of individualized services and overall support. It offers help and support 24-7 at home or in any home-like setting for people with a life-limiting prognosis.

Hospice includes the symptom-relief, pain management and increased comfort benefits of palliative care with an even greater emphasis on emotional, psychological and spiritual support for patients as well as family members.

It brings families the full range of resources they need to make sure their loved one can spend his or her final days in the familiar surroundings of home, in an atmosphere of comfort and dignity.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES As proof of the region’s highly engaged community, the volunteer program at Riverside Tappahannock Hospital continues to prosper with volunteers logging thousands of hours each year.

Volunteers are always wanted to help interact and assist with patients, become a part of the hospital team family, and work with others to help make a difference in the community.

Riverside volunteers work with the public, assist visitors around the hospital, or aid members of the health care team throughout the hospital.

RIVERSIDE NURSE What can you do when your child wakes up with an earache at four in the morning or you experience a persistent cough at midnight?

Call Riverside Nurse, a free service of Riverside Health System available 24-7.

A registered nurse specially trained in telephone triage will answer your symptom-based question and, if needed, refer you to a physician for treatment.

Riverside Nurse also provides general health information and Riverside physician and service referrals.

Riverside Nurse can be reached at 1-800-675-6368.

n October 2011, the newly formed Tappahannock Artists Guild opened the doors of the Tappahannock Art Gallery at the corner of Prince Street and Water Lane. It was established to provide “Art for the Community and a Community for Artists.”

Since that time, the gallery has become a true community art center, providing an excellent venue for showcasing the work of local artists and for providing instruction and inspiration for the old and young alike.

26

The Tappahannock Artists Guild continues to be an official site on the “River to Bay Artisans Trail” linking the gallery with other art venues within the Middle Peninsula.

This year TAG is offering exciting opportunities for our citizens and for those visiting our community.

We are pleased to announce that TAG is sponsoring the second annual “Tidelands Plein Air Event,” which will be attended by more than 30 artists from the midAtlantic region. From April 1 to April 4, talented artists will capture the beauty

of our rivers, marshes, farms and historical architecture on their canvasses.

Their work will be displayed for sale on Saturday, April 4 at the old Beale Memorial Church.

TAG will also sponsor a Children’s Art Show April 15 to May 17 to share

Tappahannock/Essex County, Virginia

the fantastic talent that is being nurtured in our public and private schools. TAG will once again offer a week-long summer camp session for our youth (ages 8-18).

This is scheduled for July 13 to 17.

The organization will continue to offer “KidzArt” (a flexible arts and crafts opportunity for youth of any age), from 10:30 a.m. until noon every third Saturday from April through November during the Tappahannock Farmers’ Market.

For our more mature citizens, TAG offers its “Sip and Dip” series, 6 to 8 p.m. on the fourth Thursday during the months of April, June, August, and October. With the guidance of a local art instructor and the support of appropriate refreshment, participants will discover their own hidden talents.

TAG has the good fortune to be a partner with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Through this relationship, the gallery is able to offer day-long workshops provided by VMFA instructors, at no cost to participants. Areas of instruction being considered include: the Art of Photography, Indian Block Printing, and Painting and Glass Art. TAG will also be offering two additional classes provided by local artists. Joyce Crown-Wilkins will be offering a workshop on stained glass and mosaics, and Celeste Johnston will lead a class on botanical art. Look to our website (tapparts.org) for dates and times.

In addition to the display of artwork from our exhibiting members, TAG scheduled unique individual shows and group events: From January 10 until February 23, Sherry Turille presented beautiful photography that reflects the classical world (“Whispers of Shadow and Light”); from February 28 until April 12, “Vita Nova,” a mixed media show by the KonKons; from April 17 until May 17, Student Art Show; from May 22 until July 5, works by local artist, Peggy Rennolds; from July 10 until August 28, juried Summer Art Show; from August 28 until October 11, TBA; and from October 16 until November 28, TBA. Finally, the TAG artist members will participate in the annual “Holiday Show,” from Dec. 4, 2020, to Jan. 8, 2021.

To learn more about TAG and its programs you may visit our website at tapparts.org, check out our Facebook page: Tappahannock Artists Guild, or contact us at tappartsguild@gmail.com.
