Stuffed Ham Marker Ceremony and Reception

St. Mary’s County has been designated as the official birthplace of stuffed ham, and a marker will be erected and dedicated to this honor. A marker will be installed on the grounds of the St. Clement’s Island Museum with a small ceremony beginning at 2 p.m. The marker was created as part of the Pomeroy Foundation’s “Hungry for History” program and credits St. Mary’s County with the creation of the dish in the early 1700s. Immediately following the ceremony, a reception will be held next door at The Potomac Gardens and will include samples of a variety of locally made stuffed ham. This event is being supported by the St. Mary’s County Museum Division and the Friends of the St. Clement’s Island and Piney Point Museums, with thanks to the Pomeroy Foundation for the grant for this marker.
