SUMMARY:Transportation and Trade on the Tidewater Themed Tours
DESCRIPTION:August 7 – 9\, 2026 – For centuries\, humans have relied on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries for transportation and trade. From providing high-traffic trade routes to providing an avenue for the pursuit of freedom\, these iconic waterways defined an entire region. This weekend\, Historic Sotterley is offering its guided tours with additional notes on the way the Chesapeake played a crucial role in shaping history. \nTours will be offered on Friday & Saturday at 10:30 am\, 12:30 pm\, and 2:00 pm and on Sunday at 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm.

Tours this weekend will have an extra focus on how the Chesapeake and its tributaries shaped life at Sotterley and our region. \nThe tour is on the ground floor and is approximately 45 minutes in length. The 18th Century Manor House doorways may not accommodate all wheelchairs or walkers in some rooms of the house.

SUMMARY:Legends & Lore Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 6 & Friday\, August 7\, 2026 – “Legends & Lore: In a Time of Revolution” is set in October\, 1776. It is a desperate time for the recently declared independent nation\, when families were split and the success of the revolution was far from certain. General Washington is staging a hurried retreat from New York\, fighting more to keep the army from disintegrating than to bring the rampaging British to battle. In Southern Maryland\, the Americans have stood off a minor British incursion in the Battle of St. George’s Island\, but uncertainty and divided loyalties are as common as patriotic fever.  In the first of the three scenes\, two British spies have landed near Sotterley to encouraged the enslaved to desert to join the fight against the patriots. A young woman suspects their plot. In the second\, Washington and his Aide-De-Camp Tench Tilghman review the reasons for and possible outcomes of the revolution and discuss the leadership needed for the new country. In the third\, cousins duel over loyalty to Britain or support for the new county. A man is killed and a family secret is revealed.  The heroism and contradictions of a pivotal moment in history are explored. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAudition to become a part of bringing this tumultuous time to life at Historic Sotterley through two exciting weekends of Legends & Lore tours in October. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuditions will take place at the Leonardtown branch of St. Mary’s County Public Library. 23630 Hayden Farm Ln\, Leonardtown\, MD 20650 \n  \nPlease prepare a 1-minute classical monologue\, Shakespeare suggested but not required.
