The Tilghman Watermen’s Museum is pleased to announce they are opening for the season on Saturday, April 30, 2022. Now in their 13th year of operation, the Museum will expand their successful exhibit “Tilghman Back in the Day” by paying tribute to the history of the Tilghman Country Store. In addition, TWM will highlight the neighboring village of Sherwood where many Tilghman’s Islanders worked in the seafood and canning industry. Three new outdoor exhibits which will enhance the visitors’ knowledge of working on the water are in the works. Interpretive signs for the exhibits will be funded by a Sharp Grant from Maryland Humanities and illustrated by Marc Castelli, artist in residence at TWM.
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 will be open on weekends from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. Off hour tours are available by calling 410-886-2930 or 410-886-9810. For additional information, contact us by email: [email protected] or visit our website: www.tilghmanmuseum.org
