CHESAPEAKE CITY â Even if they are still setting up displays, volunteers are determined that that Chesapeake City Museum will open Saturday.
âWeâve spent the last year getting this ready to go,â said Rowan Cloud, curator of the museum at 98 Bohemia Avenue. âThere have been plans for a Chesapeake City Museum since the 1980s.â
Those plans included Harriet Davis, who died in June 2020. Davis was known in town for her civic passion, which included leading the Historic Commission.
âSo we said âLetâs go ahead and do this in her honor,ââ Cloud said.
Cloud worked with Ava Zechiel and Holly Roddy to design and organize the space in Suite B. All are volunteers.
