Why This Matters

More Than a Place.
A Living Legacy.

Eagle Harbor is a living testament to Black resilience, community, and joy along the Patuxent River. For nearly a century, our families have built something extraordinary here. But too many of our stories live only in shoeboxes, old albums, and fading memories.


A digital archive ensures that the faces, places, and moments that define Eagle Harbor are never lost. When future generations search for their roots, they'll find us — vibrant, proud, and beautifully documented. This isn't just preservation. It's an act of love.
