Open House @ Meredith House

The Dorchester County Historical Society is inviting the public to a free open house event at the historic Meredith House, which sits on the DCHS campus at 1003 Greenway Drive in Cambridge. The event, which commemorates the founding of the society in 1953, takes place on September 24 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Besides being a new introduction to Meredith House, the open house will also serve as an official welcome to DCHS’s new executive director, Marcos Salaverria.

Built around 1760, Meredith House is one of only five Georgian-style homes remaining in Dorchester County. It will be the focus of a new tour entitled “Changing Times and Tides.” This will shine a light on the families who lived in the Meredith throughout its history.

Also at the open house, the new schedule of programs and events will be announced. According to Salaverria, this will include a fall festival in October, a new exhibit in December, and a Traditions Tea in 2026.

Anyone interested in attending the September 24 open house is asked to RSVP to dchs@verizon.net by September 22.
