The Chesapeake City Museum, an idea around 40 years in the making, finally opened to the public Saturday. The museum, at 98 Bohemia Avenue is dedicated to showing the history of the town, with over 1,000 items in its archives.
Many of the items were first collected by longtime resident Harriett Davis, who first came up with the idea of creating a museum to showcase the townâs history. Davis, a member of the Chesapeake City District Civic Association who passed away in 2020, had boxes of items stored in the room that now is the home of the museum.
Davis started Canal Day in 1985 as a fundraiser for the museum, despite the event lasting for over two decades, the concept of the museum was never able to draw enough volunteers.
