Historic Christ Church & Museum | ChristChurch1735.org 5 Partnerships Make It Possible

enerosity from foundations and business partners helps Historic Christ Church & Museum bring innovative exhibitions, hands-on history programs and special community events to Gvisitors of all ages and backgrounds. In 2019 we added two exciting exhibitions to our museum, cre- ated a virtual tour to reach digital visitors around the globe, and partnered with American Evolution to commemorate the historic events of 1619 Virginia.

Be A Builder: Grants from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the River Counties Community Foundation and the J. Edwin Treakle Foundation funded Be A Builder, a touchscreen, interactive exhibition that teaches children about Christ Church’s architecture (photo, top right); the enslaved, indentured and free craftspeople who constructed this extraordinary building; and the tools and technologies these builders used. Be A Builder features beautiful casework and allows multiple users on two matching 46-inch screens set within a compass arch that evokes the windows in Christ Church.

Truss: River Counties Community Foundation funded the King-Post Roof Truss (also Bottom left: This view of the chancel is one of visible on photo above, back wall). Made of a high-density foam, the truss weighs several stunning shots Brandon Hull made as he about 20 lbs. and can be taken off the wall and used as a hands-on learning station for photographed Christ Church for the virtual tour. school and summer programs. The truss replicates carpenters’ notches and other tool marks like the real trusses in Christ Church’s roof to guide students as they assemble it Bottom right: Brandon Hull photographing the with pegs and a mortise and tenon joint, one of the essential joints used by carpenters east side of Christ Church. in colonial Virginia.

Virtual Tour: Thanks to a grant from the River Counties Community Foundation, visitors from around the world can now tour Historic Christ Church & Museum. Our new Virtual Tour uses a combination of panoramic images, historic and modern photographs, and video clips to tell the amazing story of Christ Church. Users pan 360 degrees around the church and churchyard as they explore various Points of Interest (POIs) like the ox-eye 2019 Business Partners window, entablature, Carter pew or altarpiece. Brandon Hull of Hull Film produced the Virtual Tour. Brandon’s other virtual tours Save America’s Treasures Grant Platinum Gold include Mount Vernon and Monticello.
