| Burch House for the Holidays |
 |
| |
On December 10 and 11 CCASM members hosted visitors to Burch House in historic Port Tobacco during the 2016 Charles County Holiday Trail as well as for the Candlelight Tour in Port Tobacco on Saturday night. We enjoyed sharing the history of this eighteenth-century house and of Washington Burch, an interesting African-American owner of the house. And we especially enjoyed talking about the recent archaeology at Burch House - why it was needed, what was done, what we found, and what we learned.

CCASM members decorated Burch House simply for the holidays in keeping with the house (and also with CCASM's limited budget.) There was a lot of greenery and two trees - one decorated with crocheted ornaments and one with paper ornaments we had made. To make it more festive hot mulled cider and cookies were served.

Special thanks to Esther, Barbara, Elsie, Peggy, and Carol for being there to talk with the visitors and for taking care of the refreshments.
