Lady Frances Berkeley and the 350th Anniversary of Bacon’s Rebellion. In the wake of Bacon’s Rebellion, join Lady Frances Berkeley, wife of Virginia’s Royal Governor, as she composes a letter to her husband while guiding you through a brief history of the recent political upheavals that saw Jamestown laid to ash. Will King Charles offer justice to Sir William Berkeley and clear him from the accusations of wrongdoing? Historian and thespian Amy Stallings transports you back to this tumultuous period in the Chesapeake in a stunning first-person performance you do not want to miss!
Enjoy fresh oysters, shrimp, handcrafted cocktails and a light supper at this annual program that honors longtime Foundation for Historic Christ Church volunteer and board member John Hunt, an avid mariner and student of the Chesapeake who with his wife Page spent decades exploring the Bay before his passing in 2021.
