The Rehoboth Beach Historical Society presents "Ferries, Trains, and Automobiles: Getting to Rehoboth before the Bay Bridge", a two part series with David McDonald, on October 7 and October 14 at 4 p.m. McDonald, a research volunteer at the Rehoboth Beach Museum, will present a program about the adventures of travel across the Chesapeake Bay before the construction of the William Preston Lane Memorial Bay Bridge.

Taking place in-person at the museum, Mr. McDonald's two-part series will focus on the period between 1878 and 1952 when the Bay Bridge opened. Part One on October 7 at 4 p.m. will cover the railroad coming to Rehoboth and the ferry-railroad network of the Queen Anne Railroad and its successor, the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Railway through 1928 when passenger service to Rehoboth ended. Part Two on October 14 at 4 p.m. will cover automobiles, developing the road network, and the car ferries at Tolchester, Love Point and Matapeake up to 1952.
