Subject: [MDCECIL] Hollingsworth Family Property
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:14:20 -0400


Back in 1999, the Town of Elkton acquired a large tract of land owned by the
Hollingsworth Family. Containing two colonial era structures, it served as
a port for navigation across the peninsula. The vision for the property was
to develop it as a museum that interpreted the area's history in the
colonial period to about the Civil War. The house, which has been restored,
was full of centuries of cultural artifacts of the family.



But now the town of Elkton has proposed selling a part of this priceless
property to a commercial developer.
