🏠 Help Showcase Port Deposit in the 2027 MARYLAND HOUSE & GARDEN PILGRIMAGE

The Town of Port Deposit, in partnership with the Donaldson Brown Center, has the opportunity to participate in the 2027 Maryland House & Garden Pilgrimage on May 2, 2027.

To move forward, we need community participation. We are seeking 5 to 7 historic locations, such as homes, museums, churches, and other notable buildings, that owners are willing to open for the tour, as well as one local restaurant willing to offer lunch. We are also looking for planning committee members and day-of volunteers.

Proceeds will help support the rehabilitation of Port Deposit’s historic Tome Steps and the Donaldson Brown Center’s historic fountain.

Our next planning meeting is June 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Donaldson Brown Center, 200 Mt. Ararat Farm Rd., Port Deposit, MD 21904. All are welcome.
