Fall Festival Celebrates 400th Anniversary

On October 18th from 10 am to 4 pm the Marshy Point Nature Center’s Fall Festival will celebrate the 400th anniversary of Captain John Smith’s two voyages in the Chesapeake Bay. One of the most noteworthy small boat voyages of all time, a dozen men rowed and sailed a two ton “barge of discovery” some 2,500 miles in the summer of 1608. On exhibit will be a Native American wigwam and a replica of Smith’s barge, the Explorer, built by the Deltaville Maritime Museum. This festival will feature canoeing, rowing, films, food and many nature activities for people of all ages. Free admission.  Call 410/887-2817 or go to www.marshypoint.org for details.
