Jazz Age Jubilee: Preserving the Past, Celebrating the Future
Saturday, March 1st, 2025
The Historic Martin Mansion at 524 Fairfax Ave, Norfolk, VA 23507
7pm – 10pm
Step back in time and experience the glamour and excitement of the Roaring Twenties at our “Jazz Age Jubilee: Preserving the Past, Celebrating the Future.” This exclusive, one-night-only event will transport you to an era of jazz, flappers, and speakeasies, all while supporting the vital work of two historic houses.
This event is in partnership with the Hunter House Victorian Museum and the Historic Martin Mansion. This fundraiser event is an extremely important event for both organizations, providing much needed funds for each organization.

For the Hunter House Victorian Museum, the proceeds this year are going to go towards restoring and revitalizing our historic front door. Over the years it has gotten severely weather damaged, and is in need of some major TLC.
Each ticket provides much needed funds and support for both of these important projects. We thank you for your support of both the Historic Martin Mansion and the Hunter House Victorian Museum.
While the event will be hosted at the Historic Martin Mansion, tickets and registration will be coordinated through the Hunter House Victorian Museum. Tickets can be purchased at www.hunterhousemuseum.org, or by calling 757-623-9814. For any questions please call 757-623-9814 or email hhvmwhitney@gmail.com.
