The Hampton History Museum invites the public to partake in a one-of-a-kind Seafood Feast to raise funds for the museum on Saturday, May 4, starting at 6:00 p.m. in the unique setting of the Graham & Rollins working waterfront dock at 19 Rudd Lane in historic Downtown Hampton.

The unparalleled menu includes 9 different all-you-can-eat seafood entrees including sautéed scallops, fried flounder, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, she crab soup, blue crab claws, fried oysters, oysters on the half shell and soft-shelled crabs, along with complimentary beer, wine and Dockside Lemonade. Graham & Rollins is providing BBQ as well. The evening’s festivities also includes a silent auction.  All proceeds benefit the Hampton History Museum Association.

"The location and menu are truly unique. It reminds us of the role the seafood industry has played in Hampton. The ticket proceeds will provide us the opportunity to enhance the museum's programming efforts, not only from the seafood perspective, but also other areas of Hampton's rich history and its continuing importance," says museum board member and former Hampton Mayor Jimmy Eason.

Tickets are $100 per person, and only a limited number are available. Tickets may be purchased in the Hampton History Museum gift shop at 120 Old Hampton Lane, or with a debit or credit card by calling 757-727-6824.
