2024 Charles County Holiday Tour

Burch House
On Saturday December 7 CCASM hosted visitors at Burch House in historic Port Tobacco during the 2024 Charles County Holiday Tour.   Four sites in Port Tobacco participated in this free event - the One-Room Schoolhouse, Stagg Hall, the Port Tobacco Courthouse, as well as Burch House.

Only fifteen people came by Burch House this year to learn about this eighteenth-century house and Washington Burch, one of its owners.  Seceral were also interested in hearing about the archaeology done in Port Tobacco and upcoming ASM Field Session that is to be in Charles County. There was hot cider, home-baked cookies, chocolates, and even an activity for children. 

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. 

Thanks to Linda and Elsie for setting up and being there to talk with the visitors and also to Carol who helped out in the afternoon. 
And a special thanks to Mary who provided the baked goods, hot cider, and everything else needed to enjoy them.
