(According to AI, Tangier Beach was a segregated beach on Tangier Sound at Dames Quarter and closed in the 1920's. The derelict 16-acre property was sold to Dames Quarter native Loraine Henry and her husband George for $2,500 in 1951. They reopened the area as Henry's Beach in 1952, one of the first integrated beaches on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  The site, in an area of severe coastal erosion, was sold in 1991 and is currently private property.)

  

(Wonder how 40-cents a ticket could finance a show like this?)
