Tales of Sam Jones' Country Store presented by South Dorchester Folk Museum

During our lecture March 9th, Rev. Dan Dunlap will speak on the history of Sam Jones’ store that was in Church Creek.  The store was nationally known as the “worst-kept country store in America”, but if you asked for something Sam was sure it would be around there somewhere.  This is a talk that should be very entertaining about life in Church Creek in the 1900’s.
 
Before becoming Rector of Old Trinity Church, Rev. Dunlap served parishes in Philadelphia, PA; Exeter, UK; and Tomball; TX. He received his doctorate in historical theology from Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, in 2001, and has taught at various seminaries and colleges. Before coming to Dorchester County, he served as Professor of Historical Theology & Worship at Houston Graduate School of Theology for ten years and as Dean of the Faculty for five years. Lately he has enjoyed teaching for the Institute of Adult Learning at Chesapeake College (Cambridge Center) in the areas of Science & Religion and Christian History.
