DCHS also has a lot planned for the months of July and August!

The Dorchester County Historical Society’s seventieth anniversary has just reached its end, but the organization is not slowing down by any means. This summer, it is full steam ahead with a schedule packed full of new, exciting events and programs for people of all ages.

Event details may be subject to adjustments or changes, so it is helpful to check their Facebook page or website, dorchesterhistory.com, to confirm any updates. Each event will take place right at the Historical Society at 1003 Greenway Drive in Cambridge.
