Historical Society Dinner Set Nov. 3
The St. Mary’s County Historical Society’s 2023 fall dinner is approaching. Mark your calendars for Friday, November 3, at Olde Breton Inn.
Longtime member Eve Love who, along with her husband John Cook, are editors of the book, “Before The Base.” It is the story of Cedar Point and surrounding communities before the US Navy took over.
John and Eve examined the records at the National Archives regarding the process for the development of Naval Air Station Patuxent River in 1942. The archives collection held descriptive appraisals and documentary photographs of the buildings and property that comprised the farms, homes, businesses, and communities for the condemnation process. These appraisals and photographs were organized and prepared for publication by John and Eve.
Registration will be required before October 29 at midnight. RSVP here.
