2023 Fall Picnic Sunday September 25

Location: The Kirwan House, 641 Dominion Road, Chester, MD 21619
We've had rain, we've had cold, we've had ticks, and now Covid we're told!  Yes, each one of those things has caused us to cancel previous picnics. Last year the weather was great and we avoided rain!!  Everyone had a great time and we look forward to next year's picnic and meeting you, your family, and friends.

Each Fall the Kent Island Heritage Society hosts an Old Fashioned Picnic for members and their guests at our Kirwan House headquarters!  Come enjoy the crisp Fall weather, meet new friends or become reacquainted with old ones!  Enjoy great company, food, music, activities for the whole family, and our Kent Island heritage!
