Virginia Beach History Museum

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with some of the top experts on Virginia Beach, its rich history, and the stories that have shaped our city into what it is today. Our guests include Dr. Dylan Wayne Spivey, an architectural historian and Operations Specialist for Virginia Beach History Museums. If you're wondering what an architectural historian does, think of the iconic Harrison Ford character, Indiana Jones. Dylan is also an unabashed anglophile, enjoys traveling, exploring antique stores, and is a proud advocate for the Oxford comma. Joining him is Professor Annmarie Reiley-Kay, whose passion for history earned her the esteemed position of Director of the Virginia Beach History Museums. Special thanks to Alex Dye, the Media and Communications Coordinator, for setting this up and playing an impactful role in bringing our history to the digital realm. In this episode, we explore: What sparked Dylan and Annmarie's passion for history.
