Turner Lecture Series Welcomes Larry Chowning for a Preview of His Upcoming Chesapeake Bay Folklife Photo Book

The Deltaville Maritime Museum is delighted to welcome Larry Chowning, renowned Chesapeake Bay historian, author, and storyteller, for a special Turner Lecture Series presentation. The talk will be held on Sunday, March 22 at 1:00 p.m. in the Events Pavilion.

Chowning will offer an early look at his forthcoming photo book, Chesapeake Bay Folklife , scheduled for release in August 2026. This engaging program will center on a curated selection of photographs from the upcoming publication—images that capture the traditions, working waterfronts, footbridges, footpaths, and everyday lives that define the Bay’s cultural heritage.

With decades of research and writing dedicated to the people and places of the Chesapeake, Chowning brings unmatched insight and warmth to his storytelling. Attendees will enjoy a rich visual journey paired with the historical context and personal anecdotes that make his work so beloved across the region.

Admission is free, with a suggested $10 donation to support future Turner Lecture Series programs. Light refreshments will be served.

Please RSVP at office@deltavillemuseum.com or 804-776-7200
