Chesapeake Bay Foundation

At the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, our mission is to save the Bay and its waterways by educating, uniting, and inspiring people to take action. Since our founding in 1966 as a private, citizen-based organization with the motto Save the Bay™, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation has grown from just a few staff and members to a major regional force advocating for clean water, environmental education, and Bay restoration.

Central Maryland Heritage League

Founded in 1989, the Central Maryland Heritage League is a nonprofit organization created to promote the cultural, historical, and natural heritage of the Middletown Valley. C MHL advocates, encourages, and enhances public awareness of this heritage through the conservation, interpretation, preservation and stewardship of the resources contributing to the South Mountain State Battlefield and its surrounds — including Wise's Field, historic Dahlgren Chapel, and the Dahlgren family involvement in the events relating to the Civil War in Maryland. While the South Mountain State Battlefield is one of our prime initiatives, we have acquired Dahlgren Chapel, the private family chapel of Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren, built in 1881 atop South Mountain. We are the stewards of Dr. Austin A. Lamar's Surgical Suite and Medical Museum, located in downtown historical Middletown, Maryland. We also hold easements on several properties.
