The Meredith House
1003 Greenway Drive, Take
a tour.
The Meredith House is the home
of the Dorchester County Historical Society. This Georgian-style
home, built circa 1760 in its present location, displays period furniture,
portraits, china, silver, and quilts. The Society has also
recently acquired the Moxey Collection, which is a genealogical research
collection, amassed by Debra Moxey over more than 30 years.
Also exhibited are the artifacts of the seven governors of Maryland from
Dorchester County.
The Meredith House is gaining
a new lease on life with a new project. The Meredith House Family
Life Project, launched in 2011, aims to highlight early Dorchester families.
This is being accomplished using the Society’s large collection of artifacts,
portraits and documents in addition to historical and genealogical research.
The goal is to present the visitor with a more complete picture of Dorchester
County life through its history.
