Ladies in 1860s finery sit in the sun.
Do you like to dress up in 1800s garb? Are you a social-type person? Do you enjoy talking about history and the heritage of the Chesapeake Bay with others? Then become a volunteer docent at Capt. Avery Museum in Shady Side.
Docents will escort visitors through the Museum on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., and at special functions. On some occasions they would be dressed in costume typical of the 1860’s. Training will be provided.
The museum is the home of Captain Salem Avery who worked the waters of the Chesapeake as a buy boat captain in the late 19th century. He is typical of the watermen of that era whose history the Museum seeks to preserve. For further information, please call Museum Director Vicki Petersen at 410-867-4486.
