New Exhibit:
Shifting Sands, Changing Tides:
The Story of Assateague Village, VA
The exhibit highlights the story of Assateague Village, VA, a small fishing community on the southern tip of Assateague Island.
The village bloomed in the late nineteenth century and was inhabited until the late 1920's. The display highlights how technology
in conjunction with natural resources both gave birth to and destroyed a small community on the Eastern Shore. The exhibit was
designed by Matthew Heim, a Salisbury University graduate student currently researching the history of Assateague Village for his
Master's thesis.
