Hello Friends of the Cape Charles Museum!
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FEBRUARY
2024
As we enter a new year, I want to thank all of our members andfriends for a great 2023. We accomplished many things that weAbout Us
were not able to do in the last several years.
We held both of our fundraisers, and were open from May toNovember, with many happy visitors in the Museum. Our Lecture Series with various
speakers was a great success enjoyed by full house crowds. Thanks to all who sponsored
our events last year. We couldn`t do it without you.
Our docents were all second to none with their dedication to the visitor experience. My
thanks to all of them.
Now that we are getting ready to open for this season, we are getting the Museum preparedfor opening on May 11th. Make plans to come see us if you have not been here recently.
The Pilot House of the Capt. Edward Richardson railroad barge is looking good with new
paint, and we plan more renovations to the inside of it as well.
Remember to renew your membership dues this year, and invite a friend to join the CapeCharles Historical Society.
Let us know what you think of the newsletter in email distribution.
Thank You,John Griffith

Its Membership Renewal Time

Its a New Year and time to renew your existing Membership or join

non-profits around the country. We hope that you will find it in yourhearts to support the Cape Charles Historical Society and Museum

We want to keep offering new programs, maintain our outdoor
campus and keep entrance to the Museum free of charge. Thanks

like to help us shine.

What`s New for 2024
We are working on purchasing an acoustic system andgetting it installed in the Museum before our Lecture
series starts. The Lecture series was a huge success lastseason, but we need to improve the sound quality for theaudience`s experience. The hanging speaker systempictured at left is one option we are considering. We arelooking forward to a great line up of presentation
speakers this year.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The upcoming seasonal exhibit will be an expansion of
the current exhibit, as we add a couple more decades ofCape Charles history. The Life Ring from the Maryland
Steamer pictured left, is just one of many new artifacts being added.
Your memberships and donations would help us purchase the needed sound equipment

and exhibit supplies & printing services for this season. We hope you take pride in your local
history and help us preserve it.
We are revamping the Museum Shop and will be making some great vintage items from ourCountry Store Collection available for purchase in the gift shop. Collectors of vintage andantique items, visit our Museum Shop starting May 11th. A few items are pictured at left.
