BES K-KIDS INDUCTION DOCENTS HONORED Rackliffe House, a restored 1740s merchant-planter’s home overlooking Assateague Island and Sinepuxent Bay, concluded the 2014 season on Oct. 30 with a luncheon at Berlin’s Hotel Atlantic to celebrate its all-volunteer corps of docents. Docents interpret life on the 18th-century coastal plantation through artifacts on display in the kitchen, spinning room, and children’s room in the main house as well as in the original milk house. Docents also interpret the exhibition, “Native Americans: First Contact on Lower Delmarva,” on loan from Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture.
