Bear Graves Speaker

Join us for a special afternoon at the 2026 Turner Lecture Series as we welcome Bear Graves—the talented model builder behind the beautiful Piankatank model showcased in our museum. Bear is not only a master craftsman but also an accomplished artist and musician, bringing a unique blend of creativity and maritime passion to his work.  During this engaging presentation, Bear will share the story behind building the Piankatank model, his techniques, inspirations, and the artistry involved in bringing historic vessels to life in miniature form.  This event is free to attend, and we gratefully welcome donations to support future programs and the mission of the Deltaville Maritime Museum.  Light refreshments will be provided.  RSVP office@deltavillemuseum.com  $10 donation
