Dear Mr. Carpenter,
Thank you for your inquiry. I visited the First Peanut Museum last year but
honestly don't remember that much about Miles B. Carpenter, as that museum
is in a different building altogether. As far as I know, that museum does
not have a Web site. I don't think that it is Miles Buck Carpenter, because
I do remember that in the museum there is a picture of Miles B. Carpenter
with Ronald Reagan, so that would make him alive and well in the 1980's...
Miles B. Carpenter was a locally famous folk artist that made wood carvings
of animals and people. Shirley Yancey, who runs both museums, could probably
give you the information that you are looking for (and definitely more than
I can give you!). You can contact her at (804) 834-3327 or (804) 834-2151.
If we can be of any more help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours,

Subject: The First Peanut Museum, located in Waverly, Virginia.
Hello!
This is regarding the web page concerning "The First Peanut Museum,
located in Waverly, Virginia" located at:
http://www.originalnuthouse.com/news/peanut-museum.htm
The page mentions Miles B. Carpenter Museum. Later it mentions Miles B.
Carpenter as a VA folk artist. Further down it gives more information
on times for his Museum.
Who was Miles B. Carpenter? Was this Miles "Buck" Carpenter b. 1830?
Does the Miles B. Carpenter Museum have a web page?
Curious!
