We are an all-volunteer organization founded in 1973 and headquartered on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Our Mission is to preserve the historical Eastern Shore rural way of life.

In support of our Mission, we maintain a 70-acre facility five miles north of Easton MD on which we collect, restore, display, and operate a wide variety of antique industrial machinery and agricultural equipment. We welcome the public to our annual show held on the grounds during the weekend after the Fourth of July. We also sponsor many other events and share our facility with various community groups. We are always actively seeking new members who will share our interests and goals.

The Dorchester County Historical Society is a private, nonprofit, organization dedicated to the collection, preservation, maintenance, exhibit, and making available for research: artifacts, documents and other items relative to the history of Dorchester County. The Dorchester County Historical Society was founded in 1953 to promote an appreciation of Dorchester County history. The Society strives to fulfill this goal by collecting artifacts, operating museums, maintaining an archive, and by advocating the preservation of other historic resources in the County. Many educational program meetings are held throughout the year at which guests speak on topics related to the local and regional history. Society members enjoy special invitations to periodic bus trips and various social events. Many opportunities for community service are made available to members through society projects. Records are available at the Library in Cambridge.
