Edgar Brown Exhibit

The Edgar Brown exhibit remains in the second floor display area. The pictorial history of Virginia Beach has been so popular with visitors, we hope to keep the photographs on display indefinitely.

Exterior Exhibits - Boathouse & Library

In addition to the Cottage, the Museum also includes two outbuildings.... Virginia Beach's first library and the Museum boathouse. The library was moved to the Museum grounds in 2003 and contains vintage books and artifacts from the 1930-40 era when the library was active. The boathouse is a new building that replaced an original building on-site during the time the de Witt's lived in the cottage. Today the building is used to conduct carving classes and provide visitors with a place to observe a carver demonstrating his skills.

Garden

The seaside garden is one of the most beautiful spots on the Virginia Beach oceanfront and contains nearly 50 flowers, scrubs and trees. This garden was designed to flourish in a salt air environment and has been a regular stopping spot for the annual Virginia Historic Garden Week.

In the fall of 2005 initial planning began on a wildfowl sculpture to be located on the Atlantic Avenue side of the de Witt Cottage. After securing a loan from the City of Virginia Beach, work actively began. Dr. David Turner, from the Virginia Eastern shore, designed and made the bronze sculpture of five Mallards flying into a marsh. Work has been completed on the wildfowl Sculpture and it is a beautiful addition to the Cottage as well as the garden area.
