The Watermen’s Museum is get-ting back to its roots while reachingout to more people than ever.
Ravished financially by Hurricane Isabel in 2003,the museum is making a strong comeback.
With new and expanded educational programs aswell as a renewed emphasis on history, executivedirector David Niebuhr is hoping to revitalize theimage of the museum to attract new visitors anddonors.
“We really want to start seeing the museum growwith a modern perspective,” he said in an interview.
Education programs have been Niebuhr’s focussince he joined as a consultant in 2008. He recentlybecame the executive director.
In 2008 the museum offered 200 hours of educa-tional programming. That number grew last year toan estimated 10,000 hours.
“We’re going to increase that again this year,”Niebuhr insisted. “Significantly.”
A pilot program aimed at those with develop-mental disabilities was launched last year through agrant from the Virginia Foundation for theHumanities. The program is expanding now toinclude at-risk youths.
Activities include boat building, Native Americanrope-making and decoy carving. Staff from the LifeSkills Learning Center in Toano helped set the cur-riculum, and now The ARC of Greater Williamsburgis involved, as well as classes from public schools.
“It’s not so much about building boats as it isabout getting people to try things in a caring envi-ronment and asking for help,” Niebuhr explained.
The museum is also expanding the summertimePirate Camp to 9 one-week sessions aimed at ele-mentary school students. Kids learn about militarydrills, pirate crafts and colonial games.
Bob Oller, president of the museum board ofdirectors, is pleased with the success of the educa-
tional programs, especially Pirate Camp. Some chil-dren sign up for multiple sessions.
“The instruction and information are presented ina way that they understand and enjoy and want, andthat’s exciting,” he said. “We have to grow the inter-est of the young people and the kids in the commu-nity, the people we should be teaching.”
The museum’s location on Water Street in his-toric Yorktown and its proximity below theYorktown battlefield provide an opportunity toteach marine history.
The museum just started a Colonial Fair &Militia Muster, to be held monthly through the fall.“We are trying to link to visitors who are comingfrom out of town,” Niebuhr said.
A big draw for the museum may be the construc-tion of a Row Galley. It’s based on a design byBenedict Arnold for a vessel called the Henry thatwas commissioned by Thomas Jefferson in 1776.Niebuhr said the ship was built on the York River todefend against the British.
The cost of construction will be covered by ananonymous donor. Construction will take place atthe museum beginning in a few months.
Niebuhr hopes to outfit the vessel with replica18th century cannons and offer tours of the ship.
Oller thinks history is vital to drawing more visi-tors. “What we’re doing is real dynamic in makingsure we’re continually telling the story of the water-men while engaging people in ways they’re interest-ed in and how that relates to the museum.”
Niebuhr’s goal is to attract more visitors anddonors by proving the museum’s value and relevanceto the area.
“We need to show them that we’re viable and thatthe museum is going to be a successful, passionateendeavor and make them passionate too,” he said.
Want to go? The Waterman’s Museum is open 10a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m.Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and$2 for students. Children under 6 get in free.

Davis Tarvin began scouting atage 6 as a Tiger Cub. He became aBoy Scout when he was 11.
Today, Tarvin is an Eagle Scout candidate, whohas taken on a large project which will benefitHospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg.
The project entails the construction of an addi-tion to Hospice House which will be used as a pri-vate “retreat area” for guests, staff and volunteers.
Tarvin thought the project was a good fit for thegoals he had as an Eagle Scout candidate.
“After researching the Hospice House and whatthey provide to the community, I knew I wanted tohelp them out if I could,” Tarvin said recently. “Theaddition is something they have been trying to dofor several years now, but they needed someone toorganize it and help raise the money needed.”
Tarvin has called upon other community mem-bers to help his goals become reality.
Ron Hudick of R.J.H. Drafting & Designs drafteda set of construction plans for the project and donat-
ed his time and expenses. After the plans weresecured, Tarvin started contacting area contractorsand suppliers to request the donation of labor andmaterials.
“I am happy to say we have been able to get 90percent of everything we need for free,” Tarvin said.“The people in the community have really steppedup to the plate by donating their services and ormaterials to this project. I am really thankful for allthat they have done.”
Tarvin said the work he has done has beenextremely rewarding. “It really makes me feel goodto know that I am providing the Hospice Housewith something that will improve their facility,” hesaid. “They provide such an amazing service to thepeople of our community and I am glad I have thisopportunity to work with them and hopefully buildsomething that will make their lives a little easier.”

Nancy DempseyNancy Dempsey said she is
known within her church communi-ty of St. Bede as “the lady withmany shawls.”
As she has worn her colorful wears, suggestionsthat she sell her handiwork have abounded. Shestored those thoughts away for many years, butrecently launched an online business to showcaseand sell her handiwork at www.itssewyou-llc.com.
Dempsey, a self-described “craft show addict,”considered purchasing booths so she could offer herproducts. That is until she happened on the Internetcraft community
“I discovered the new and ever-increasing craftcommunity on the web,” Dempsey said recently.“What a great way to couple my business degreewith my passion for doing anything crafty.”
She launched the online shop, It’s Sew You! lastJanuary and have enjoyed a steady stream of cus-tomers.
“The fashion accessories for sale inside my shopare traditional and functional styles, which have beenaround for many years,” she explained. “Thatincludes shawls, scarves, baby items and my culinarycrochet. My goal is to give each a fun and fresh look.Most designs are my original designs.”
She said the online business is all-consuming,between creating and handling the online orders.
“After I awake and while the coffee is brewing,the computer goes on and my work day begins,” shesaid. I work about 30 hours a week actually workingon my projects, which means sewing, knitting, orcrocheting something. Marketing, promoting andresearching my site on the web uses about anothertwo or three hours per day.”
She said she keeps her inventory low and thatmost of the purchases made on the site are com-pleted after the sale.
She works diligently to ensure the website pro-motes the products in the best light, and she spendsconsiderable time drumming up interest in herwares.
“A lot of my time is spent promoting my website,”she said. “I’m learning there are quite a bit ofresources out there. I’ve also found that the socialwebsite networks work very well.”
She admits that the advantages of having her ownbusiness outweigh the disadvantages.
“You have low overhead costs from the start,” shesaid. “And you can make sales, while you are sleep-ing. Depending on the type of business, your cus-tomer base is worldwide. But don’t immediately quityour day job. It may work well for those who want apart-time job, aside from their regular job. Otherscan turn it into a full-time career. It depends on howmuch time and energy you want to spend.”
Dempsey’s ultimate goal is to work with local andnational fashion boutiques to sell her items or serveas one of their suppliers.
“And to continue to have fun doing what I’mdoing,” she said.
Dempsey said the tough economy could discour-age some from starting their own website business.
“But I say this is probably the best time to do it,”she said. “There are still opportunities out there, ifyou go out after them. Find something that youreally love doing and try to make some money doingit. You never know, until you try.”

WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE, JUNE 2010 56 WWW.WILLIAMSBURGMAG.COM
It may only be June, but thosewho work on the annual fall artshow, An Occasion for the Arts, areworking to keep the October showfresh in people’s minds.
Last March, a committee selected the vibrantwork, “Compton Oak,” by local artist ConnieDesaulniers as the poster art for this year’s show,
Oct. 3. That’s months in advance of what is usuallydone. But it had a purpose.
“The reason we did it differently this year isbecause we want to make the image a part of all wesend out as part of our whole campaign,” said JudithBowers, who works with An Occasion in communi-cations.
Desaulniers’ work will be used in conjunctionwith An Occasion’s pre-event publicity and corre-spondence. It’s also going to be used in marketingmaterials distributed by the Williamsburg Hotel andMotel Association and the Greater Williamsburg
ART BEAT
Poster art selectedLocal artist Connie Desaulniers’ “Compton Oak” is poster for An Occasion For The Arts
Desaulniers with painting owner Reggie Akdogan
Chamber & Tourism Alliance. Thegoal is to have a recognizable imagethat is easily identifiable with AnOccasion.
Bowers said all the artists whoparticipated in last year’s show wereinvited to submit work for the posterart. About two dozen artists submittedpieces.
“The entries were in all media, not justpaintings, from artists all across the coun-try,” she said. “There was a nice range ofthings for the selection committee to con-sider.”
When the process wrapped, it wasDesaulniers’ work that was selected in a “blindjury” process. No one knew the name of the artistassociated with the submitted works.
“Compton Oak” fits the image of the fall eventwell, Bowers said. “It is a stunning image, a vibrantpainting,” she said. “We had asked for images thatwould convey the spirit of an outdoor art show in ahistoric area. That tree is one of the historic trees intown. It is a combination of the stunning paintingand the image being iconic Williamsburg.”
Desaulniers actually painted the work in 2007after taking a photo of the tree on an early morningwalk with husband, Marcel.
“The glow of the morning sun hitting the tree wasmagical,” Desaulniers said. “Sometimes timing iseverything, especially light on a magnificent tree.”
Desaulniers admits the work is the favorite of hertree portraits. “I am especially thrilled it was chosen,”she said.
