Heritage Awards Reception

A lifelong preservation advocate dedicated to preserving a historic church and cemetery with ties to Harriet Tubman, an organization that showcases Dorchester County’s diverse cultures, an event celebrating the local men who served in the U.S. Colored Troops, and a volunteer whose efforts help ensure that maritime history is appreciated by new generations – all will be honored for their roles in helping to preserve and promote Dorchester County’s culture during the Heart of Chesapeake Country Heritage Area Awards reception.

The event, which will take place at 5 p.m. on Nov. 13 at the Dorchester Center for the Arts in Cambridge, will include a presentation on the Heritage Area’s achievements over the past year, as well as displays from the local heritage partners who have received mini-grants and Maryland Heritage Areas funding to support their own projects.

The event is free and open to the public.
