Yesterday was a busy day at the Hill House Museum, among the guests we had two special visitors. The mayor of Portsmouth, Shannon Glover, stopped by to view the photo exhibit and listen to the tunes of Ruth Brown, Portsmouth native and “Queen of R&B”, re-enacted by Inez Randolph.

Also, Sandra Sharpe, a Hill family descendant, was visiting the area from Northern VA and has not been to the museum in over 40 years. She was able to reconnect with her family tree and with excitement she toured the museum creating new memories.
