Glen Burnie – The Lost Towns Project

African American Inventions, Artifacts, and Stories at the Glen Burnie Library

We’re switching things up at the Glen Burnie Library! After the successful collaboration for Native American Heritage Month, librarians and archaeologists teamed up once again for Black History Month. The exhibit highlights the numerous contributions by black inventors, and highlights the story of the Savoy family, tenant farmers from Crownsville.

It will be up for the next few months at the Glen Burnie library at 1010 Eastway.

The exhibit was a collaboration between Anne Arundel County Cultural Resources Section, The Lost Towns Project, and the Glen Burnie Library. Archaeologist Drew Webster and archaeology intern Emily Lucie teamed up with librarians Mary Jane Williams and Lorelei Bidwell to create and install the exhibit, along with Dr. Ashley Minner, a member of the Lumbee Tribe, who contributed her research about the vibrant Lumbee Community in Baltimore City.

Want to check it out? Visit the Glen Burnie library at 1010 Eastway in November or December of this year.
