Hoping you and your loved ones and friends are healthy during this unprecedented time. We appreciate your support and interest the in the musuem. We are an all volunteer organization celebrating and documenting the history of Tilghman Island and her families.
Due to the needs for physical distancing in the face of this virus, we are uncertain as to when the musuem will open for the summer season. The exhibit planned for this season of Tilghman Island- Back in the Day will tell the story of when the island had 8 gas stations, 4 post offices, 3 schools, numerous boarding houses and stores,plus a movie theater!. We are looking forward to telling you this story.We will keep you advised of the opening date.
Until then, stay well and stay safe,
...
