On Monday, September 19, 2022 at 4:00 PM the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum will unveil three new outdoor exhibits with interpretive signs to the public. The exhibits were created with the help of local watermen. The Maryland Humanities Sharp Recovery Grant Program awarded the museum a $10,000 grant to create the interpretive signs. These unique signs combine illustrations by staff artist Marc Castelli with detailed narratives bringing history alive. Learn about Arabelle’s journey to Tilghman, how a clam rig works and view a wooden mast and boom with tongs up close. The Lee House will be open and refreshments will be served at this event.
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 open on weekends from 10:00AM to 3:00PM. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. Off hour tours are available by calling 410-886-2930 or 410-886-1190. For additional information, contact us by email: [email protected] or visit our website: www.tilghmanmuseum.org
