You’re invited! Join friends and neighbors for the Captain Avery Museum’s long awaited reopening and a reception for Shady Side artist, Norman Gross. As part of this reopening, three spaces in the historic house have been re-imagined to highlight the theme of ‘Three Centuries of Chesapeake Bay History’ which interprets life and work along the Bay, recreation, and environmental stewardship.
The original house, built in 1860, was home to waterman Captain Salem Avery and his family in the late 19th century. In the early 20th century, the house was purchased and expanded by the National Masonic Fishing and Country Club and became a summer retreat for local Jewish families, until the 1980s when it was purchased by the Shady Side Rural Heritage Society and reopened as a museum. Now, in the 21st century, the Captain Avery Museum’s mission is to explore the evolving connections between individuals and communities and the Chesapeake Bay.

With an extensive catalog of releases behind him, Evan is shaping up to be a prolific writer with a seemingly boundless range of sounds. He has found his most authentic voice on his new, self-titled album, which was released in March. The songs are deeply honest and confessional while maintaining a hopeful sense of humor, wit, and insight.

FREE Children's Event: Exploring Botanical Art in the Museum with Titian Peale
2021-06-30 10:00 - 11:00 | Hammond-Harwood House Museum, 19 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, 21401
Exploring Botanical Art in the Museum with Titian Peale
June 30 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Summer Storytime
Does the child in your life love nature? Then this could be the perfect program for your little explorer.
Artist Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) interests expanded far beyond the canvas and out into the natural world. Peale, who grew up in Annapolis, inspired a love of science in his youngest son, Titian (1799-1885), when he created one of America’s first natural history museums in Philadelphia. Titian pursued his father’s passion by becoming a noted naturalist and botanical artist.
In this hands-on program participants will visit one room in the mansion and pick out the plants and animals in I Spy fashion. Then they will go out to the garden to find examples of seeds and flowers. Finally, they will pick sage leaves from the herb garden and create a botanical sponge-painted leaf and a drawing of a butterfly to take home. Children will then have story time in the garden listening to Help for Mr. Peale by Barbara Morrow. The story is about artist Charles Willson Peale establishing one of the first natural history museums in Philadelphia in the 1790’s.
Offered for a maximum number of 10 children.
FREE thanks to the Winifred Gordon Art & Wellness Series: Kids Edition.
Donations are appreciated.
