Hurlock is planing to
celebrate it's centennial this fall, with a very appropriate
centerpiece, a railroad
station dating back to the era when Hurlock was founded in 1892.
There will be a parade,
train rides, historical pageant, arts and crafts, and, musical
entertainment, which are
to be a part of the celebration of Hurlock's 100th
birthday.
Mayor Don Bradley is head
of the committees to over see the event.
The Railroad Station is
an appropriate symbol for the town which got it's start
as a railroad freight
station.
This station building has
been moved from Willamsburg to Hurlock under very
soggy conditions and set to
rest in an old part of town which was the site of a Methodist
Camp Meeting grounds.
The structure has German style siding and a slate roof, dated
to 1891. The restoration
of the station is a separate project but there are hopes the station
interior may be ready in
time for the centennial.
The Hurlock Centennial is
being patterned after the North Dorchester Heritage
' Festival held June in 1955
and a tentative date of October 3 & 4 has been set. During
this fest, it was a mandate
that all of the towns men grow beards or mustaches like those
in fashion at thr turn of
the century.
