GALESTOWN MILL POND
DORCHESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND
On Sunday, June 25,2006,13 to 15 inches of rain
fell in the area surrounding Galestown. This large
amount of rain caused the dam to fail, completely
emptying the mill pond. Heavy flooding also
occurred in Federalsburg, Maryland and Seaford,
Delaware. According to local residents, the dam
also failed in 1935 and again in 1973. Plans are in
the works to rebuild the dam with work scheduled
to begin in March of 2007 and complete in
September 2007.
