The history we teach has evolved over time and the reason is simple, we have changed. With those changes come a responsibility to explore what history can teach us about the current state of affairs. When that history is incomplete, or deliberately leaves out elements of conflict, we fail to get an accurate view that causes far more harm than good. As a public historian, Coleman feels her job is to lay out stories you may not have considered or heard before and provide an environment where people can learn and explore.
FREE WEBINAR for the public – The Boeing Company has generously sponsored the Speaker Series at Sotterley for the past 13 years. Advance registration required.
This year’s speaker series will be offered virtually and some may also be offered in person depending on community guidelines. Links will be available the week of the event. Stay tuned for updated hosting information.

St. Mary’s County Airport Farmer’s Market
2020-07-12 09:00 - 13:00 | MD
St. Mary’s County Regional Airport (also known as Captain Walter Francis Duke Regional
Airport) will again be the site of one of Maryland’s most “inspired” Farmer’s Markets by
bringing fresh & local food to a public space where they can see airplanes and future aviators
take to the skies! Historic Sotterley is proud to once again host this market in partnership
with the SMC Airport!
The market will be held in the parking lot in front of the Airport Terminal building located at
44200 Airport Road, California, Maryland. Located in St. Mary’s County, the airport is about
four miles northeast of the central business district of Leonardtown.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all shoppers are requested to wear masks and keep a social
distance from others while in the market area. The vendor booths will be spread out and
there is plenty of parking next to and adjacent to the airport terminal building. The market
will be held on Sunday July 12th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
This Famer’s Market embraces and showcases the rural characteristics of Southern Maryland
while highlighting the role that our region has played in developing our nation’s air and
space technologies. One of the most unique characteristics is that people can fly their plane
into the airport from other parts of the region to buy goods and then fly home. “Nowhere else
can you fly your own plane in, buy local oysters, vegetables and wine and then fly home”
Allison Swint, St. Mary’s County Airport Manager, stated.
The markets will feature soft shell crabs, pork from free-range heritage pigs, local farmed
oysters, vegetables and fruits, local honey, eggs, baked goods, shrimp, Kettle Corn, local
winery and distillery offerings as well as two food trucks and a shaved ice stand. Something
for everyone.

Mother’s Day “Drive Thru” Farmer’s Market!
2020-05-10 10:00 - 14:00 | MD
Give mom what she really wants this Mother’s Day: a trip out of the house
to buy some wonderful fresh, local items that you can use to make her
favorite dishes! Historic Sotterley is proud to once again host a Farmer’s
Market at St. Mary’s County Regional Airport, but this time we are changing
it from an indoor Fly-In Market to a stay-in-your-car Drive-Thru Market!
Purchases will be made from the safety of your car!
You will have the opportunity to support some of our wonderful small businesses while also
taking home some fabulous and fresh offerings from local farmers and
producers. At the Farmer’s Market you will find such items as:
Oysters Beef
Cut Flowers Honey
Beer Kettle Korn
Eggs Hydroponic greens
Bourbon Chocolates
Baked Goods Farm Soaps
Pickles & Relishes Oils & Vinegars
We will also have food trucks from Chief’s & Blue Wind participating, so on
your way home you can pick up some delectable take-out so no one has to
cook!
We know that some of you will be hoping to find particular items from your
favorite vendors. To ensure you come away with exactly what you want, you
will have the opportunity to contact vendors in advance to place a pre-order.
Once we have the full listing, vendor information will be available on
Sotterley’s website at www.sotterley.org.
It will be a great day to see all the new happenings at the airport (through
your car window) while getting some great items for mom…or even just for
yourself! For updates, check Historic Sotterley’s website or Facebook page.
We hope to see you at the Market!
Please note, restrooms are for vendors only. We ask that you please remain in your vehicles.
