Please Join Us For Annual Friends & Visitors Day June 29th 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Friends and Visitors Day is a free, family friendly event and all are welcome. We are delighted to have music by the Free and Eazy Band. In addition to music food, and fun, this will also be the opening of a new exhibit: The Builders of Trappe 1935-1960, a period of time when the population of Trappe more than doubled and the attitude of the townspeople changed from seeing Trappe as a village to a more important town. The focus will be on the people with active businesses. We are working on kids' activities so please call if you have fun suggestions - 410-476-4857.       Click small photo to download large         Friends & Visitors Day poster
