"Build our future by preserving our past." The Rural Life Museum of Trappe plans to collect, preserve and display a broad array of historically significant artifacts and documents, including many items that were used in rural homes, factories and farms in the Trappe area. The Trappe Rural Life Museum has evolved from a dream in the mind of Charles Adams into a vibrant organization ready to take on the challenge of preserving our past and growing our future. The Rural Life Museum of Trappe, Md., Inc has entered into an agreement with Mid-Shore Community Foundation to establish and professionally manage the Rural Life Museum of Trappe, Md., Inc. Fund. Gifts to the Fund are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law. Mid-Shore Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity.
