Recently we celebrated our partner, the United States Marine Corps Historical Company, for receiving the Heritage Partnership Award from the Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area for the wonderful service they provide to us and many others throughout our region and our country.
Read our nomination:
For the past 10 years, the US Marine Corps Historical Company has been partnering with Historic London Town and Gardens to hold Revolutionary London Town, a multi-day event to explore what "independence" meant for the people of London Town in 1776. Each year, event participants have a chance to meet a colonial Marine or militia member, enjoy crafts and games, and talk with costumed historic interpreters to learn about life on the brink of revolution. United States Marine Corps Historical Company brings 5 to 15 people, depending on the year, at zero cost to the organization.
In the Chesapeake Crossroads area, they also partner with the Naval Academy to tell the Marine Corp history. But their service does not stop there. Almost every weekend, they go to a different historic site throughout Maryland and throughout the country to provide specialized programming. They work to help smaller nonprofits, just like London Town Foundation, to bring a self-contained and self-funded program to the site. Without their support to bring this high level of programming and multiple volunteers who are trained in the history of the Continental Marines, London Town would not be able to bring such high-quality programming to our site.
“We know it would be out of reach for most small non-profits,” said Thomas Williams of the United States Marine Corps Historical Company. “And it’s our mission to develop and conduct outreach to the general public about the history of the Marines.”
Mr. Williams is the only full-time person in their shop, and he coordinates hundreds of events, trainings, and outreach programs each year. United States Marine Corps Historical Company also serves as technical advisors to help develop museum level reproductions of clothing, and on movie sets (Flags of our Fathers).
On behalf of London Town Foundation, we wholeheartedly nominate the United States Marine Corps Historical Company for the Heritage Partnership Award.
