Shoreside communities like St. Michaels were once home countless packinghouses that processed seafood and produce for more distant markets. In recognition of the 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” CBMM Chief Curator Pete Lesher will share stories of the Black workers and packinghouse owners who drove this local industry.
This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics to the Van Lennep Auditorium. Events vary, but often include talks by industry experts, discussions with community members, performances by local artists, and screenings of relevant films. Regardless of the topic, each program will leave you with a greater appreciation for the people and environment of the Chesapeake Bay.
CBMM’s speaker events are offered in a hybrid format with options for both in-person and virtual tickets. The link to view the program virtually will be provided to all registrants before the program.
