Do You Remember Miss Eva?
Mary Eva Blount Way (1869–1962) spent a lifetime collecting the treasures that would become the heart of the Belhaven Memorial Museum — from her famous 30,000+ buttons to whale bones, farm tools, and curiosities of every kind. Her spirit lives on in every corner of Belhaven.
In collaboration with the Belhaven Memorial Museum and the Belhaven History Club, we're collecting stories, memories, and materials about Miss Eva to preserve her legacy and create a digital avatar experience that will bring her remarkable spirit to life for future generations.
We Want to Hear From You
- •Did you or your family know Miss Eva?
- •Do you have stories about visiting her collection or the museum?
- •Do you have photos, letters, or documents related to Miss Eva?
- •Do you know someone who might have a story to share?
