Our very own volunteers Bob and Vera Wiest are the recipients of the 2022 Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Stewardship Award! This award recognizes “efforts that make a difference in stewardship of our natural resources or built environment.” 

This married couple of archaeological all-stars process artifact collections by washing, labeling, and preparing artifacts for curation. Whether it’s a 10,000-year-old spear point or a piece of pottery from the 1800s, we know we can count on Bob and Vera to get the job done with care and dedication. Over the last two years, Bob and Vera have given over 550(!) combined hours towards preserving local history! We truly could not do what we do without the generosity of incredible volunteers like Bob and Vera–Congratulations on this well-deserved award!
