King William:

 

It was a vision of Thomas T.H. Hill, a former Clerk of the Circuit Court, to create a museum for King William County. At his death in 1998, he left a sum of money to the King William Historical Society, of which he was a member.  In 2005, the King William Historical Society set up the Museum Council composed of society members and citizens of the county. Following the building of the new Courts Building in 2004, the old Circuit Court Clerk's office was vacated and the county agreed to lease the space to the Historical Society for a museum.  The museum's hours of operation are Saturday and Sunday 1-5 p.m.   Appointments can be made during the week by calling Pat Fitzgerald, (804) 769-3919

Constituent Services
 

I am always happy to assist residents of the 97th District in dealing with state agencies. As your Delegate, I want to make sure that your government is working for you and that your rights are respected.  While I cannot require an agency to make a specific determination on your behalf, I am happy to assist you with cutting the red tape and getting you the answers you seek.  My office can serve as a liaison between my constituents and the state.
 
My office takes the responsibility of serving seriously.  My staff is available during the week to assist you with your concerns; I am also readily available.  I encourage you to contact us.  Please continue to contact me whenever you have concerns or issues of importance to our community and the Commonwealth.
