The Dorchester County Historical Society is preparing an exhibit on
wheat growing on the Eastern Shore. I understand that this area was
known as the 'Breadbasket of the American Revolution' and that both
British and Colonial agents purchased supplies for both sides of the
conflict. We have a replica of colonial Maryland currency. Would it be
appropriate to display Delaware, Pennsylvania, and/or New Jersey
currency as well? Would all of these bills have been legal tender and
circulating in this area at the time?
Thanks!
