Dominion Grant Supports Sotterley and Its Mission
This fall, Historic Sotterley, Inc. was proud to receive a generous grant of $10,000
from the Dominion Foundation in support of Sotterley’s mission of education,
preservation, and cultural enrichment. Through its foundational giving, Dominion
is dedicated to promoting community vitality by fostering an appreciation of
diversity, revitalizing neighborhoods, and ensuring a vibrant community life through support of cultural endeavors.
With this gift, Dominion demonstrates its understanding that Sotterley’s rich history, unique environment, and
authentic buildings and settings are able to provide an irreplaceable connection for students and guests to our
shared past.
We offer our sincerest gratitude to Dominion for their support of Sotterley’s mission through this grant, and
through this donation and the other generous support from our community, we will continue enriching the lives of
thousands during the upcoming year.

As we come to the end of another year, I am once again amazed at all that we
have accomplished here at Sotterley thanks to all of the generous support we
have received from so many. While we are always facing so many challenges, we
somehow find a way, with your help, to not only keep our doors open but to
expand our offerings to all of our visitors, including our new Land, Lives and
Labor exhibit, our ever-expanding Farmer’s Market, and miles of nature trails.
Your support also enables Sotterley to continue to host thousands of students
who explore the rich history of our region in authentic settings that leave lasting
impressions.

The support that makes all this possible comes in many forms and is a shining
example of the wonderful and caring community in which we live. Sotterley
simply would not be the open and vibrant site that it continues to be without
each of you, and we can all be proud of what we have accomplished together. I
extend to you my deepest gratitude and warmest wishes to all for a joyous holiday season.

Lost in the Woods: Tales of the Past - This season’s Ghost of Sotterley took our
guests on a haunting tour through thrilling legends and lore. This year’s script
was written from a compilation of fan-favorites. Scenes included Dr. Walter
Briscoe and his ill-fated patient, grave robbers, the premiere of Sotterley’s first
Insane Asylum and a chilling warning for all of our guests.
DID YOU KNOW? All of Ghosts of Sotterley’s cast and crew are volunteers,
made mostly of high-school students who give up their evenings for weeks
of rehearsals! A big thank you to everyone who made this year’s amazing
performance possible!
13th Annual WineFest - While we are not normally ones to balk at inclement
weather, Hurricane Joaquin’s threatening approach on October 3rd & 4th
caused us, for the first time ever, to reschedule WineFest! Despite the delay, we
still had a fantastic turn-out. Saturday’s weather was cold, wet and rainy, but our
artisans and wineries were pleasantly surprised at how many people still came.
Sunday dawned and the weather was gorgeous! A great big thank you to our
maintenance staff and volunteers for all that straw and mulch they dispensed in
order to combat the soaking our WineFest field endured the day before! Like
always, we could not have done it all without our fantastic volunteers!
See You Next Year!

Museum Shop Ornament
The 2015 Christmas ornament, “The Knott House.” The Knott House
became the Welcome Center for Historic Sotterley Plantation in May of 2010.
It was originally built in 1910 for Herbert Satterlee’s new caretaker, Charles
Knott. Being our visitor’s first stop on their journey through 300 years of
history, the Knott House has become one of our most iconic buildings.
Purchase your ornament by calling the office at 301-373-2280 or by visiting
us online or the Museum Shop. To receive a shipment by Christmas Day,
please order by December 15th. Shipping and Handling rates apply.
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Sotterley
began
hosting
Speaker
Series in 2006 for
the benefit of our
community. In 2008, The Boeing Company stepped
forward and agreed to sponsor this wonderful program
as a community outreach and educational opportunity
for our region. For the past eight years Boeing has
continued to generously sponsor this event, and the
series has touched thousands of lives during that time.
The presentation topics have ranged from White House
architecture, to veteran’s involvement in the sustainable
farming movement, to the theft of some of our Nation’s
greatest treasures, and to interpreting Mount Vernon’s
slave quarters. There is always something for everyone in
the variety and scope of topics each season, and Sotterley
has been able to continue hosting remarkable speakers
who give enriching and engaging presentations because
of Boeing’s ongoing sponsorship and support.

Series! Planning has already begun for our next season
and we look forward to ensuring that this upcoming
series is one of our best to date. We offer our sincerest
thanks to Boeing for not only supporting this series,
but also for encouraging its incredible employees to give
back to our Southern Maryland region by volunteering
their time and talents. Sotterley is proud to continue
our partnership with a company so dedicated to making
our community a better place for all!
