On Saturday, January 21stat 4:30 PM the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum will host Steven Weschler, from the Ferry Cove Oyster Hatchery in Sherwood at the Tilghman Island Volunteer Fire Department as a part of the 2023 TWM Speaker Series. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.
Through its hatchery and production facilities at Ferry Cove, the goal of Ferry Cove Shellfish is to facilitate the growth and long-term viability of the commercial shellfish industry. Using advanced hatchery production techniques including a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) and biosecurity systems, Ferry Cove Shellfish will provide the industry with high-quality, low-cost larvae and seed.
Committed to celebrating, documenting, preserving and sharing the history, traditions, heritage and culture of Tilghman’s Island, the museum hosts an exceptional collection of local artists such as Bill Cummings, Colleen Sadler, Marc Castelli, and Nancy Tankersley. The museum contains a treasure trove of artifacts, oral histories and boat models.
Located in the Lee House at 6031 Tilghman Island Road, the museum is currently closed. For additional information, contact us by email: [email protected] or visit our website: www.tilghmanmuseum.org.
