- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Garrett  Channell, Executive Director of the Salem Museum, with a look at the  life of William Byrd (1674-1744), a planter, surveyor, and member of the  Royal Governor's Council. The native Virginian  got his education and then practiced law in England, then returned to  his American homeland to make his impact. In the 1720s he served as the  London agent of the House of Burgesses. He helped establish the boundary  between Virginia and North Carolina, a task  which placed him in modern day Martinsville and Henry County. His  diaries and manuscripts live on today in textbooks of American  literature, showing both at once the values of British colonial gentry  and the emerging American identity.
