CELEBRATING THE TRADITIONS AND FOLKWAYS
OF
SOUTH DORCHESTER COUNTY
(Membership Application)
The South Dorchester Folk Museum, Inc. was organized to recognize and remember those of our ancestors, relatives, and friends who lived and worked in the communities of South Dorchester County, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Museum membership is open to all who share our interest in the traditions, folkways, and artifacts of South Dorchester.
We sponsor programs that help document and record the lives of individuals and families from the time when the first settlers arrived, and during the following generations, who made their livelihood trapping, hunting, working the water, and farming, as well as those who lived close by and supported those trades.
Meetings are held the first Wednesday most months at 7:00PM, either at The Blackwater Wildlife Refuge’s Visitor Center, or The Dorchester County Historical Society’s Robbins Heritage Center in Cambridge. Location will be publicized in advance.
Our meetings explore a wide range of subjects about the LIVES AND WAYS OF THOSE WHO WERE AND ARE NATIVE TO SOUTH DORCHESTER. Meeting subjects include OUR NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTORS, HUNTING AND TRAPPING, TOOL MAKING, SKILLS AND CRAFTS, SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS, and FAMILY LIFE.
We are always interested in receiving old documents and artifacts from South Dorchester for future exhibits, and suggestions for speakers and programs.
(New members paying dues the last two months of the year will be paid
for the following year.)
Your contributions to The South Dorchester Folk Museum are tax deductible.
