Pocomoke Church Histories- CHAPTER EIGHT

 

            

(Portions of the newspaper archives in this series presented some duplicating difficulties but this history worth saving should be mostly readable even if lacking in ideal viewing presentation.  There's a short portion of especially light print towards the end of this article.)

This series of articles continues next Saturday here at The Pocomoke Public Eye.

Friday's big news about the Beebe Ranch Campaign!

 

(6/30/23- Museum of Chincoteague Island Facebook)

We just bought the farm!!!! 

This morning, many people came together to make a little Chincoteague history! 

Billy Beebe and his sister Barbara Gray said that this truly is a dream come true for them. Selling the Beebe Ranch to the Museum of Chincoteague, protecting it for the future was something that their mother had been talking about many years ago and now it has happened! 

Today, we would like to thank Bob Faith of Dockside Properties for helping the museum navigate through the buying process and Attorney John Custis for making sure all the T’s were crossed and I’s dotted. Both generously donated their time and services!  

Bob and John- we are grateful for your support and generosity. Because of that, I can proudly say, the Museum of Chincoteague Island owns the Beebe Ranch and it is 100% paid in full. This would not of happened without your help and the thousands of people who have made a donation! We thank you all! 

Now, the planning begins! Stay tune for more exciting news!
