Lost & Found in Chesapeake Beach!

ROTATING EXHIBIT

This exhibit displays objects lost in Chesapeake Beach in the early 1900s. They were found in the waters where the boardwalk once stood, and have now found their way home to us!

These items capture a slice-of-life at a moment in time. They represent the day-to-day things that people were wearing or carrying or used while visiting the beach.

Were they lost while frolicking in the bay, or lost while sashaying down the boardwalk, or when the boardwalk collapsed in 1921!?!

So many fun scenarios to ponder!
