About OHS
The Oriole Historical Society is a 501(3)(C) non-profit organization focused on the restoration and preservation of St. James Methodist Episcopal Church located in Oriole, Maryland. In addition, we are focused on the research of the genealogy of Oriole, an early black community in what was known as the Dames Quarter Election District. The lives of the original founders as well as the builders of St. James Methodist Episcopal Church will be included in future research for our museum.
The Oriole Historical Society has reached out to the communities and its political base, civic leaders and organizations, the business and religious community not only to seek help with the restoration of St. James ME Church, but to take part in other endeavors that help improve the community and to increase much needed tourism to the Maryland eastern shore.
