Tilghman Watermen’s Museum speaker series

On Saturday, January 25, at 1:00 PM, the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum Speaker Series will host a Panel of Tilghman Watermen at the Tilghman Island Volunteer Fire Department, 5979 Tilghman Island Road.

The event is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

The Watermen will share their experiences of working on the water, including their history, daily challenges, and what keeps them coming back to this extremely difficult job year after year.

Committed to celebrating, documenting, preserving, and sharing the history, traditions, heritage, and culture of Tilghman’s Island, the Tilghman Watermen’s 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 will close for the winter and will re-open in the spring. For additional information, contact us by email: twm6031@gmail.com or visit our website: www.tilghmanmuseum.org.
