SALISBURY, MD—Where was the first electric lamp in Salisbury? And what’s the story behind the “big shoe” that once was a local landmark advertising the E. Homer White Shoe Co.?
Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture answers these questions and more through the exhibit “If Objects Could Talk: The History Behind Eastern Shore Artifacts.”
Curated by SU junior Jaclyn Laman, the display is featured at the center’s G. Ray Thompson Gallery on the fourth floor of SU’s Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons through Friday, July 26. A reception is 6-7 p.m. Thursday, February 7.
Sponsored by the Nabb Center, SU Honors College and History Department, the exhibit features more than 30 objects from the center’s collection.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free and the public is invited.
