King and Queen County Educators Visit Courthouse Tavern Museum

On Monday August 18, 2014 the King and Queen County School Board sponsored a luncheon at the King and Queen Courthouse Tavern Museum for new public school educators. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Stanley B. Jones, and School Board Member, Brenda D. Lee, attended with 15 teachers and administrators from King and Queen Elementary School, Lawson-Marriott Elementary School, Central High School, and the School Board Office. This annual event introduces attendees to the Museum and promotes its use by students. A log schoolhouse that was one of the first public schools in the county, Indian artifacts, early tools, a carriage, and collection of short videos on county history are only a few of the many exhibits. The library and an extensive county archive are also available for research.
