The Opening Presentation starts at 10:00 am held at the Middlesex County Women’s Club at 202 Virginia Street, Urbanna, VA. The presentation will be a narrative of the lives of three “Founding Fathers’” and their families who sought to establish the Town of Urbanna as a port community which would serve the needs of the plantation owners as well as the surrounding inhabitants. The Founding Fathers are Capt. Harry Beverley (1669-1730), the Honorable John Robinson (1683-1749), and Colonel Christopher Robinson, II (1681-1727).
