Memorial Chapel (University of Maryland)

Memorial Chapel is a non-denominational building on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park, constructed to honor those associated with the university who had lost their lives serving in the United States Armed Forces. The building, designed by Henry Powell Hopkins, actually is made up of three chapels: the Main Chapel, the West Chapel, and the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. A Vietnam Veterans Memorial was constructed on the Chapel grounds in 1988. The steeple of the chapel is the highest point on campus. History In 1946, the university's Board of Regents approved the construction of the chapel, after four students presented a petition of 1,348 signatures to the Board for the construction of an interdenominational place of worship on campus. In 1948, it was decided that the building would be dedicated to veterans of World War I and World War II. The building's dedication took place on October 12, 1952, with then-Maryland Governor Theodore McKeldin delivering the dedication address. Alumni donations led to a restoration in the 1980s, and the Class of 1997's Class Gift was a restoration of the chapel's West Courtyard. For the first 40-plus years of the chapel's existence, the Memorial Chapel carillon rang out Maryland's state song, "Maryland, My Maryland." On April 21, 1999, however, the carillon began to play the University of Maryland alma mater "Hail! Alma Mater." The carillon has continued to chime out the alma mater before noon daily. The Class of 1992's Senior Class Gift was a refurbishment of the carillon. Usage The Memorial Chapel attracts over 80,000 visitors each year, and hosts upwards of 1,200 events annually, including commencement ceremonies, concerts, convocations, lectures, and weddings. Weddings at the chapel are particularly popular among Maryland alumni and members of the university community, as 84% of the weddings that have taken place at the chapel had at least one connection to the university. Visitors of the Chapel include Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senator John McCain, Senator Joseph Tydings, and former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich. A Veterans Day ceremony is held at the Chapel annually. The chapel is often used as place of remembrance and reflection by the university community, particularly in the aftermath of great tragedies; it has been an important meeting place and symbol during the Vietnam War, and in the wake of September 11, Challenger, Columbia, 2004 Tsunami, and Virginia Tech disasters. The Garden of Reflection and Remembrance In 2007, following the September 11th and Virginia Tech tragedies, an initial grant was awarded to the Memorial Chapel to create a garden for reflection on the south side of the building for the university community. Among the features of the garden are a labyrinth and a walk of remembrance. The groundbreaking for the garden took place on May 25, 2010.

Mount Harmon

Mount Harmon is an historic home, located at Earleville, Cecil County, Maryland, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and is currently open to the public. Style Mount Harmon is an 18th-century brick mansion built by Sidney George around 1788. It features a central door with a scrolled pediment and pineapple keystone supported by Ionic pilasters. In the late 1920s a frame wing was built on the south gable. History The Mount Harmon Plantation estate and nature preserve covers some 200-acre (0.81 km2) adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay, on a peninsula by the north shore of the Sassafras River. The plantation was created in 1651 as a land grant from Lord Baltimore to Godfrey Harmon. From 1750 to 1810 Mount Harmon flourished as a tobacco plantation owned by the Louttit and George families. Mount Harmon eventually fell out of family hands and into disrepair. In 1963, Marguerite duPont de Villiers Boden, a direct descendant of the Louttits and Georges, rescued the plantation, restoring the Colonial Kitchen and Manor House. Mrs. Boden filled the house with 18th-century antiques, and restored the Tobacco Prize House as a reminder of the plantation's days as a tobacco shipping center for the Sassafras River area. After Mrs. Boden's death, her daughter Kip Kelso Boden Crist ensured the plantation's future by forming Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc. Friends of Mount Harmon Today, the Friends of Mount Harmon (FOMH), almost all volunteers, preserve and interpret the plantation for the education and enjoyment of its visitors. FOMH conducts house and kitchen tours, hosts Colonial picnics, Yuletide tours, and special events, as well as operating educational programs for schools and maintain nature trails that wind around the property. Mount Harmon gives water access to canoes, kayaks, and boats. The formal boxwood garden is used for weddings, and the spacious Manor House grounds are open for festive events and corporate meetings.

Quarry Lake (Maryland)

Quarry Lake is a manmade lake in the Pikesville area of Baltimore County, Maryland. Originally a marble quarry, it is now one of the deepest lakes in the state. The lake is surrounded by Quarry Lake at Greenspring, a mixed residential development and commercial development that includes single-family homes, condominiums, shops, and office buildings. History The lake itself is a flooded quarry that dates back to 1877. It is located off Greenspring Avenue, between Old Court Road and Smith Avenue. The quarry was likely originally run by the Boyle family, and later transferred to the McMahon family. The McMahon Quarry was purchased by the Arundel Corporation in 1937, and became known as the Greenspring Quarry. The quarry operated to produce crushed stone from a gneissic phase of the Cockeysville Marble, though other minerals were also found at the site. The Arundel Corporation of Baltimore survives as a subsidiary of Vulcan Materials Company. In 1999, an agreement was reached to allow a new mixed-use development to be constructed on the property. Construction began in 2005, and the first businesses opened starting in 2006, which now include medical office space of LifeBridge Health, Walgreens, and The Fresh Market. The development also features 83 single-family homes and 500 condos. The center of the development features is 40-acre (160,000 m2) lake, which is 500 feet (150 m) deep, one of the deepest lakes in the state of Maryland. References

The original anchors were Leggett (now Belk), Caldor, Montgomery Ward (now Boscov's) and Sears, which opened on a site originally planned for Hutzler's before that chain went bankrupt. Montgomery Ward opened in 1990. After closing in 2001, Montgomery Ward became Boscov's, while Caldor closed in 1999 and later became the first Steve & Barry's store in Maryland.

It was built starting on July 30, 1856, through 1857 as a chapel-of-ease in Queen Caroline Parish, the mother church of which was, and still is, Christ Church Guilford, near Columbia, Maryland. The church land was donated from William G. Ridgley and Dr. Lennox Birckhead, a Catonsville doctor who served in the Battle of Fort McHenry. The land was once part of Charles Carroll of Carrollton's land that comprised Spurrier's Tavern.

Museum of Eastern Shore Culture

The Museum of Eastern Shore Culture originated in 2024 when the mission of the former Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art was broadened to include the gammut of cultural aspects — folklife, traditional arts and regional heritage — of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the Delmarva Peninsula. Located in Salisbury, Maryland at 218 W. Main St., adjacent to Salisbury University, the museum continues to feature the waterfowl carvings of the original museum, along with the Salisbury University permanent collection, noted for its world-class wildfowl carvings from over 100 global artists, spanning more than fifty years. History Founded in 1975 and formalized in 1990, the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art highlighted wildfowl carvings, from art sculptures to working hunters' decoys, and was named after bird carvers Lem and Steve Ward of Crisfield, Maryland, whose work elevated the art of decoy carving. The museum existed as a partnership of Salisbury University and the Ward Foundation, the latter having transferred its assets to the university in 2000. It was located on Schumaker pond at a dedicated facility at Salisbury University — and was a member of the American Alliance of Museums. In 1990, the Ward Foundation had conducted a design competition to select the architect for a 32,000 SF facility to be located on Schumaker Pond in Salisbury, Maryland. Working with noted exhibits' consultant Ben Kozak, the Salisbury firm of Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc., and lead design architect Michael Wigley, AIA, were selected for the commission. In 1992, Brohawn Construction of Cambridge, Maryland, completed the project. The museum's reconceptualization and move to the new Powell street Building was expedited after a failure of the original building's HVAC system required remediation of surface mold on portions of the museum's collection, and a series of financial hardships forced its closure. The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art closed in 2023 at its Schumaker Pond location, and was relocated. The Ward Foundation continues to operate the Ward World Championship. The former facility included a Welcome Theatre, Decoy In Time exhibit, Habitat Theatre, Art Lamay Gallery, Decoy Study Gallery, The Ward Brothers’ Workshop and the Championship Gallery.
