Friday Night
Preview
Each year the Friday Night Preview honors those
people who have helped “build” this museum with
their own talents, resources, time and leadership. Past recipients
have included David Lawrence, Purcell & Helen Jones, James
Davis, Billy & Janice Smith, John & Frances Civils,
Roy & Ina Willis and Carl & Boo Huff, Guy & Jean Tucker, and Thom & Valerie Styron and all of which
have given over and over, in ways big and small, to keep the
museum moving forward and providing the vision and leadership
it has taken to make this place a reality.
The Phillips Family of Morehead City have earned their place among these
great folks who have done so much toward preserving Down East’s
rich heritage. Please help us say “thank you" to Walter and Lockwood and all the clan for all you’ve done over the years!
