A Century of Conservation: The 1918 North American Migratory Bird Treaty

As part of the 50th anniversary of the Ward Foundation, the Ward Museum will be celebrating the centennial of the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act and its transformative relationship with the Chesapeake Bay through a Welcome Gallery exhibit focused on the landmark legislation.
