The Academy for Lifelong Learning at The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (ALL) has a number of interesting classes beginning in May.
Monday mornings May 6, 13 and 20, at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Van Lennep Auditorium, is a course entitled Personalities of the Civil War. Led by Robert Lonergan the course is designed to explore the highlights of the careers of some of the more interesting and influential participants, both male and female, on both sides of the Civil War. What general fought with himself? What general lost his leg in battle, donated it to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, and regularly paid visits to his severed limb throughout his long life? Who told his commanding general that if that general ever crossed him again, he’d kill him – and got away with it? Who was the only woman to serve as an officer in the Confederate army? The course is designed to explore the highlights of the careers of some of the more interesting and influential participants on both sides of the Civil War.
Ghost Towns, Lost Towns, and Forgotten Towns on the Delmarva: An Historical Autopsy, led by Phillip Hesser , will look at the economic and environmental forces that fostered and then undercut the
development of “lost towns” on the Delmarva. The map of today’s Delmarva Peninsula is a far cry from the historical maps of centuries past with many old towns vanished and new towns taking their place. The appearance and disappearance of the “lost” towns of the Delmarva reflect a telling story of crossroads – once busy – now quiet – recounting the intersection of sustainable life and livelihood. The class will meet at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Van Lennep Auditorium, Tuesday mornings May 7, 14, 21 and 28.
