Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the Historic
Richard Potter House
On Tuesday, June 23rd FACES celebrated the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the historic Richard Potter House.
In January of 2026, The Fiber Arts Center of the Eastern Shore purchased this historic Caroline County landmark. It is located next door to the center on 9 4th St. in Denton, Maryland. The house has undergone major renovation and is now open to visitors during regular FACES operating hours. Wednesday through Saturday 12pm-4pm.
Richard Potter was a free black youth born around 1838. Sometime around 1852, Potter was kidnapped and was to be sold into slavery. He was rescued and brought home to Denton, MD where he was greeted by his joyful parents and and cheering towns people.
You can read more about the history of Richard Potter in his memoir:
