Port Tobacco in the News

April once again is winging her way home after a brief sojourn in Maryland. Safe journey.

We have been very fortunate in getting excellent press coverage--both conventional and electronic--since the project began. Here are links to three new articles that deal with our work, either directly or indirectly.


Silt Buries Town, Excavation Begins - http://www.thebaynet.com/news/index.cfm/fa/viewstory/story_ID/7919
