Pete Lesher, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
THE FACE OF CHESAPEAKE HISTORY
As Chief Curator of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., Pete Lesher finds himself immersed in the history, environment, and culture of the watershed each and every day.
Lesher has been a member of CBMM’s staff for more than 30 years and leads in all aspects of interpretation— from the preservation and stewardship of more than 80,000 irreplaceable objects in its collection to the direction of exciting new exhibitions and programming, ensuring that what CBMM presents aligns with its mission.
A true authority on the history of the region and its inhabitants, he was also featured in a recent film presented by CBMM, The Long Shore, that addresses not just what the waterfront museum does, but why as well. See the full film at cbmm.org/TheLongShore.
Plan your visit to CBMM’s 18-acre waterfront campus today to see Lesher’s work as you enjoy wide-open spaces and interpretive educational exhibitions.
