Crisfield Armory
About
This project involves the rehabilitation of the historic Armory building to create a revitalized community space and event venue.
Supported by funding from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Rural Maryland Council, the project will preserve the building’s historical significance while enhancing its use as a central hub for community events and engagement in Crisfield.
With the Crisfield Armory rehabilitation, an important aspect of Crisfield's heritage will be restored and will return to community function. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places both for its community use and because it was built as a functional armory to
honor World War I veterans and later served men of Company L, 115 Infantry of the 29th Division who served in D-Day.
