Her Helm: The Oxford – Bellevue Ferry Tale
October 23 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
On Nov. 20, 1683, Talbot County authorized the establishment of a ferry service for “Horses and Men.” Today that ferry—believed to be the oldest privately owned ferry service in the United States—continues to run between the communities of Oxford and Bellevue. Captain Judy Bixler will share a bit of ferry history and stories of her experiences operating the ferry alongside her husband since 2001. This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
