May Day

[L Verge]

May Day is not always a distress signal. On May 1, 1976, three grandsons of John Surratt, Jr. cut the ribbon to open Surratt House as the first historic house museum in Prince George's County, Maryland. A lot of good has come our way over the years.

In celebration of the current May 1, 2014, we are happy to announce that the Surratt Society's new website went live today -- thanks to the hard work and generosity of staff member, Julie Cowdery, and Life Member, Dr. Rick Mundy of Kansas, who donated his time to developing the new format.

We are still tweaking and adding things, and we hope that you will take the time to view the page in its entirety and let us know what you think. The first website that we had lasted for 16 years, so let's hope we get that kind of mileage out of this one.
