tangier history museum印象

Reasonably priced. Great displays of the island history. I loved the photo slideshow and video of island life.

The Tangier museum is very small like the island itself but has a huge history. The museum details the history and use of the island from the Native Americans, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, etc. The history of the watermen is great. It details their rise to their current plight of the job. The museum is a great anthropology of the island. It is a must visit to understand this unique island in the middle of the Chesapeake.

a small museum but a lot of proud history. I think they graduated 7 seniors from the HS this past year. 6 went onto college and 1 in military.

I thought this a very interesting and informative little museum. Tangier Island has an interesting history and the displays here tell it well, not thoroughly, but well. Be sure to watch the videos that are available. Any visit to Tangier Island should include a stop at this museum.

This is the only museum on the island. It's small, but filled to the brim with information, pictures, artifacts, videos, and so much more. My friends and I enjoyed our time walking about and reading. There is a short video in the back of the museum where you can really here from the people of the island.Everything was well arranged and the quality was excellent. It was all very interesting and we had a blast. There is a small fee to get in, but it's well worth it. There is also a small gift area with items made by people on the island, so it's a great place to pick up a souvenir.

For the three dollar admission there is a lot to absorb about the history of the island. Some of the exhibits are hand written and some are humorous.

It is a very tiny museum, it is about history and life on the island, the people the language ( the local accent "Hoi Toiders" of the Outer Banks of North Carolina) and the industry (British descendants). The entrance fee is $3 per person. There is no public toilet in this island, if you are desperate it is one place to go. I love the chairs outside which is in crab shape, which represents the major industry in here.

It was full of artifacts from the area considering the island is so small. Make sure and watch the short video. It will tell you a lot about the area.

Very well done small museum that does a great job of laying out history and challenges of this little community island

Remember, it is a very tiny island museum and they do what they can. Having qualified my comments, they have done a great job and it is truly a labor of love. Many of their information tags are hand printed (very time consuming and well done). Lots of interesting memorabilia and a 17 m. big screen video about the island's history. The friendly staff were very happy to discuss the archaic "Tangier Speak" with me that is so fascinating. Having family in Cornwall, I could make out some of the same pronunciations that have lasted here for centuries. Definitely worth a visit!!!
