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

  2. The inaugural meeting of the Charles County Archaeological Society will be at the Train Station in La Plata, 7:30 to 9PM, Tuesday, March 11. Scott Lawrence will talk about cemetery research and restoration. Contact me if you have questions: JamesGGibb@comcast.net.
  3. The Archeological Society of Maryland will hold it annual spring symposium at the First Presbyterian Church on Duke of Gloucester Street, Annapolis, April 12 from 9AM to 3PM. There is a small registration fee.
