Burch House
|
On December 3 and 4 CCASM hosted visitors at Burch House in historic Port Tobacco
during the 2022 Charles County
Holiday Tour. Historic homes, churches, and cultural venues throughout the County participated in this free event.
At least twenty groups of people (mostly on Sunday afternoon when the weather was nicer) came by Burch House this year to hear about this
eighteenth-century house and about one of its owners and residents,
Washington Burch. And no visit to Burch House is complete without
learning a little about archaeology in Port Tobacco. There was hot cider, home-baked cookies and coffee cake, chocolates, and even an activity for children. (It's easy to forget to take pictures when you are interacting with visitors, but we did remember to take a few.)

CCASM members decorated Burch House simply for the holidays in keeping
with the house. There was a lot of greenery and two trees - one
decorated with crocheted ornaments and
one with paper ornaments. Visitors also noticed that the Society for the Restoration of Port Tobacco had updated the kitchen that included washing and ironing objects that could have been used by the Burchs.
Thanks to Elsie, Denise, Pat, Peggy, and Carol for
being there to
talk with the visitors. And a
special thanks to Mary who was in charge of the baked goods, hot cider, and everything else needed to enjoy them.
