Laura Smith of Sunday Historical was asked to do research on the builder and the construction of a historical house in Cape Charles, VA that was being renovated by the 4th generation owner. Laura offered the film crew the use the Museum as a backdrop to film the scene where she presented the research to the owner of the house.
Although the historian presenting the research to the homeowner scene did not make the final cut, I do appear in the series during the housewarming party scene.
The show is about renovating old houses. The episode will feature the historic McMath house in Cape Charles and the story of all the love that went in to restoring it. The Housewarming Party in August 2024 was fantastic and was filmed for the end of the episode. Everyone who played a part in the restoration and all the wonderful neighbors were there. I am proud to have been a part of this wonderful journey and wish the owner a happy future in her family home. I would also like to commend the film crew who were very personable. The episode airs on Max and Apple TV on December 28, 2024.
