Maryland Day is Unpaused!

|
Maryland Day: Unpaused will take place through June 29.
The Maryland Day celebration event originally scheduled for March is now back with free events during the month of June. You can enjoy virtually with your family and friends at no cost. There are also a few in-person activities that you can enjoy with your family. This new collection of events is called Maryland Day: Unpaused.
With so many things placed on hold, we are here to highlight our Maryland Day partners’ re-openings post Covid-19, with new online content, virtual experiences, and outdoor places to explore. Please check back to the event website often as we update our
Maryland Day: Unpaused
page with great family activities to share.
Note: some of our partners expect to present their originally-planned Maryland Day events later in the year; we will share that information as well, when schedules are determined.

New Virtual Tour Available -- William Brown House
|
|
Between 1758 and 1764, William Brown, carpenter, ferrymaster and tavern keeper, built his large Georgian house to be a tavern. It overlooks the ferry landing in the busy port town of London on the South River.
In the 1780's, Brown lost the house to his creditors, and it became a rental property as the town faded away. In 1828, it was purchased by Anne Arundel County as the almshouse. It continued to shelter those in need until 1965.

"Reopening and COVID-19:
Insights from other sectors and regions"
Thursday, June 11, 2:00 pm
Reopening in the COVID-19 era presents an unprecedented set of challenges for cultural institutions: when to reopen, safeguards for employees and guests, and ensuring employees and guests feel comfortable returning. The goal of this session, led by McKinsey & Company, is to support leaders of cultural institutions in planning for reopening by highlighting insights from organizations in other sectors and regions, including those that have already started reopening. Attendees will leave with a practical set of frameworks and case study examples that they can apply at their institutions in planning to reopen.
