  • National Register Properties in Talbot County
    NATIONAL REGISTER PROPERTIES IN TALBOT COUNTY Property Name: All Saints' Church Date Listed: 5/27/1983 Inventory No.: T-83 Location: Wye Mills Easton Road (MD 662), Longwoods, Talbot County Description: All Saints¿ Church is a small rectangular frame church constructed in 1900-1901. It is clad in board-and-batten siding, and its nave is five bays long with a steeply-pitched gable roof and stickwork in the gables. The lower portion of each wall is sheathed in horizontal clapboard. On the south facade, a gabled entrance porch with stickwork detailing occupies the westernmost bay, and lancet windows define the remaining four bays. A three-stage bell tower with a shingled spire rises adjacent to the westernmost bay of the north facade. The first stage is sheathed in horizontal clapboard with one lancet window per side. The second stage is sheathed in board-and-batten siding and holds paired lancet windows on each side. The third stage, also board-and-batten, holds two large louvered Gothic-arched openings per side. The roof of the tower is pyramidal with flared eaves. A two bay wide apse projects from the east gable, and holds a tripartite stained-glass lancet window. A small gabled wing extends to the north of the apse. The west gable of the nave is pierced by two lancet windows below a small circular window. The interior retains its original woodwork, including decorative roof trusses and framing members, and vertical-board wainscoting. Significance: Designed by New York architect, Henry Martyn Congdon, All Saints Church was erected in 1900-1901 on the same site as its predecessor, also designed by Congdon, which burned on December 31, 1899.

Heritage areas are places to experience - to see, hear, and even taste - the authentic heritage of Maryland in a unique way that you cannot experience anywhere else. Heritage areas are where the stories of the people, the land and the waters of Maryland, which have been intertwined for thousands of years, are told. By preserving these tangible links to both place and the past, residents and visitors are encouraged to recognize that they have a special piece of the American story to treasure and share with others, and that in doing so they create more livable and economically sustainable communities. Now entering its 24th year of operation, the Maryland Heritage Areas Program has enjoyed steady growth, enthusiastic private and public support, and a record of achievement.

    Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area Makes an Impact December 2020 Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area $98.4 MILLION in economic impact 1,397 JOBS supported and sustained 13.1 MILLION in state and local tax revenue Life here is inseparable from the Chesapeake Bay, North America’s largest and most productive estuary. One of the oldest and largest remaining working landscapes in North America is also one of its most protected landscapes. The fertile lands and rich waters form the foundation of the region’s economy and culture. Known as the Breadbasket of the American Revolution, Maryland’s Eastern Shore farmers are leaders in agricultural innovation. Local watermen balance traditional methods of shing with new innovations for raising seafood. Indian sites range from rare Archaic, such as the 13,000-year-old Paw Paw Cove on Tilghman Island, to “contact” sites, where Captain John Smith rst visited the indigenous tribes. Historically signicant small towns, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, remain hubs of community activity. The history of the heritage area is closely interwoven with the story of religious toleration and early denominational development spanning from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Several nationally signicant churches and numerous 19th century country crossroads chapels mark the landscape as “the Garden of Methodism”. Free black communities were scattered throughout the heritage area as early as the 17th century. The Hill Community in Easton is one of the oldest free African American neighborhoods in the United States. Founded in the 1780s as this crossroads grew into a town, this community continues today.

  • A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State Of
    A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State of Maryland Robert C. Chidester Masters of Applied Anthropology Program Department of Anthropology University of Maryland at College Park Submitted to the Maryland Historical Trust In Partial Fulfillment of a Maryland Heritage Internship Grant December 2003 Revised Version, March 2004 Abstract This report presents a historic context for industrial labor in the state of Maryland. Industrial labor is defined as the socially-governed activity of transforming nature for the purpose of the efficient processing and manufacture of commercial goods. Labor’s heritage as represented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the Maryland Archaeological Site Records, and selected secondary sources is surveyed following the geographical and chronological guidelines presented in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Weissman 1986). Types of industry and labor, class relations, the labor movement and the social and domestic lives of industrial laborers are all considered; additionally, industrialization in Maryland is linked to other important themes in the state’s history. An overview of the archaeology of industrial labor is given for each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City, emphasizing important excavations. An analysis of the state of labor archaeology in Maryland is given, along with suggestions for important research themes that have been thus far unaddressed or poorly addressed by Maryland archaeologists. i Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................i

The Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage as a Preservation Force in Maryland (1930-1994) Abstract The Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage (MHGP) is an organization which stages a series of house tours across Maryland during the first ewf weeks of May each year. While the MHGP's by-laws define the organization as a fund raiser for preservation projects, the organization has a much broader impact on Maryland's preservation community. After a discussion of the history of architectural tourism and of the MHGP, this thesis examines the impact of the MHGP, identifies trends in the annual tours, and speculates about the possible causes and solutions to these problems. Quantitative data gleaned from the records of the MHGP has been used to support the analyses.

It was the year that saw the births of James Dean, James Earl Jones, Willie Mays, Alvin Ailey, Dan Rather and Boris Yeltzin. The country was dancing to the musical greats: Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Noel Coward, Rudy Vallee, Kate Smith, Sophie Tucker and Paul Robeson. In India, Mahatmas Ghandi was released from prison. In New Jersey, Thomas Edison submitted his last patent. And in Maryland, a group of dedicated individuals formed the Society for the Preservation of Maryland Antiquities to honor and com- memorate the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth. Seventy-five years later, the SPMA has grown and evolved to become Preservation Maryland, one of the most respected statewide historic preservation organizations in the country. On October 11th, 2006, 250 people from around the state gathered to commemorate Preservation Maryland’s 75th anniversary at a gala evening at the beautifully restored B&O Roundhouse Museum in Baltimore. This Diamond Jubilee Annual Meeting marked the beginning of a year-long celebration of our accomplishments, even as we prepare for the challenges ahead. k Lippenholz Ric After a seated dinner, the evening’s presenta- Former and current Preservation Maryland Board Members assembled for the cake-cutting. tion began with a special video presentation looking back on Preservation Maryland’s history and the ways it mirrored the evolution of the preservation movement.
