The third annual Gloucester Day, which will include a transatlantic live broadcast between Gloucester, Virginia, Gloucester Township, New Jersey, and Gloucester, United Kingdom, will be held on Saturday.

The live broadcast, which can be viewed online on the county’s Facebook and YouTube pages, or in-person inside Gloucester’s colonial courthouse circle, will begin at noon.

Prior to the live broadcast, beginning at 11 a.m., Gloucester Virginia’s Historic Resources supervisor and Gloucester Museum of History director Robert Kelly will provide in-person tours of the historic buildings inside the colonial court circle. Those who attend will learn about the significance behind such buildings as the Clayton Building, Roane Building, Colonial Jail, Debtor’s Prison, Colonial Courthouse, and more.

Those who attend the Gloucester Day activities in-person will also have an opportunity to win one of several gift baskets filled with new Gloucester, Va., swag and gifts from the Visitor’s Center.

“We are excited this year to have a live conversation to learn more about our counterparts to the north and overseas,” said Gloucester County Administrator Carol Steele. “We are also thrilled to open our historic buildings for this special tour where our residents and visitors may learn tidbits about the history behind these treasured structures that they never knew before.”

Gloucester Day is a part of the Gloucester Collaboration. The idea for the outreach came from an exchange where approximately a dozen representatives from Gloucester, Va., had the opportunity to meet with the HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, UK, in 2018. The exchange eventually turned into a more formal movement, called the Gloucester Collaboration. For more information, visit www.gloucestercollaboration.org.
