Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum Celebrates Worcester County History Month
The Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum will be celebrating Worcester County History Month with a lineup of events. We are offering programming that accommodates all ages. Our Station 4 Museum tour, aquarium program, and our historical figure costume contest, are perfect for the entire family! Those who want to relive some of the best memories from the 1960s should attend guest author Mark Millikin’s discussion as he takes us back to Ocean City of the 1960s with slides and plenty of music from the decade.
