Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Nature Park is in Middlesex County, Virginia and nestled near the confluence of the Piankatank River and the Chesapeake Bay. The site serves a dual purpose of exploring the region's maritime history and protecting an outdoor, recreational space for nearby residents. The site was first established in 2003 through a dedicated group of local volunteers but faced tragedy due to a fire which wiped out most existing structures. Once rebuilt in 2013, the site has expanded and operated as hub for tourism and events in the region.

The museum features several exhibits, kiosks and a library devoted to the maritime history and heritage of the surrounding area. Holly Point Nature Park provides opportunities for walking, birding, and viewing wildlife along trails.
