How Your Ticket is Helping us Preserve the Past, and Celebrate the Future
For the Historic Martin Mansion, the proceeds from this event are going towards their Amanda Skie Gallon Scholarship. This scholarship honors Amanda Skie Gallon, daughter of member Samatha Peavy. Amanda tragically lost her life at a young age due to gun violence.
For the Hunter House Victorian Museum, the proceeds this year are going to go towards restoring and revitalizing our historic front door. Over the years it has gotten severely weather damaged, and is in need of some major TLC.
​
Each ticket provides much needed funds and support for both of these important projects. We thank you for your support of both the Historic Martin Mansion and the Hunter House Victorian Museum.

Who we are
Hunter House Victorian Museum
The Hunter House Victorian Museum is a non-profit 501(c)3 historic house museum with a mission to tell the human stories of late 19th and early 20th century life through the lens of the everyday experiences and collections of the Hunter Family, their staff, and their local community in order to foster a commitment to preserving local heritage, inspire an appreciation for the broader historical narrative, and reach diverse communities through inclusive, accessible, educational, and innovative programming.
The Historic Martin Mansion
The Martin Mansion, home to the Woman’s Club of Norfolk since 1925, is located in beautiful historic Ghent in Norfolk, Virginia. The Alvah Martin Mansion was built circa 1909. It is a 10,000 sq. ft., 21 room, brick Georgian revival and is available for a limited number of rentals per year. It is closed to events during August. The Woman’s Club purchased the Mansion in 1925 from the Martin Family; the home was originally sold in 1920 to the Virginia Club, a gentleman’s organization now located in downtown Norfolk.
If you are unable to attend the event but would still like to make a donation to our preservation efforts, please give us a call at 757-623-9814 or email hhvmwhitney@gmail.com
