Timeline of Important Firsts

In order to complete this Maryland Exploration, you will need to review all of the important things that happened for the first time at St. Mary’s City.

Use this worksheet as you visit the Significant Firsts web page from the Historic St. Mary's City Museum web site. Write your notes about the important events that happened for the first time in St. Mary’s City here:

Now, choose the six events you think are the most important and interesting and arrange them in chronological order. You could number them in your notes — use the number one for the event which happened first, and then number the events in chronological order through number six.

You should make your timeline of important firsts that happened at St. Mary’s City on the back of this paper, or on another sheet of paper. To make a timeline, remember that you will have to draw a line and label the events with the dates they happened above the line, and to write the information about the event below the line.

This is a sample of a timeline:
