Visit Cumberland Maryland

09/11/2026

See Cumberland’s history brought back to life. Christopher Sloan’s depiction of Fort Cumberland based on new interpretations offers a window into one of the earliest chapters of our city’s story, imagining the historic fort as it may have appeared during its time on the banks of the Potomac.

This print is part of a special collection of historical Cumberland scenes and maps now being offered at the Arcadian Gallery during Heritage Days weekend. A percentage of sales from the collection will be donated to the Allegany Museum, helping support the preservation and sharing of Allegany County’s rich history.

Celebrate Heritage Days by bringing a piece of Cumberland’s past into your home. Stop by the Arcadian and discover the collection!

FIRE CLEANUP: VOLUNTEERS WANTED!

The sprinklers were reset, a fire remediation plan is in motion, and it's officially safe for volunteers to join the cleanup efforts!

On July 25th, there was a small fire in the Embassy Theatre’s lobby. First responders put out the flames quickly. We are fortunate that only minimal damage occurred from the fire itself; the building was affected by smoke and water.

The Embassy Theatre team is working tirelessly to clean the building in time for the Mark Baker Art Gala & Stage Dedication, scheduled to take place on October 4th at 1:00PM.

If you are interested in volunteering, our main needs are:
- laundering costumes: sign out a clothing bin to launder at home or at the laundromat and return to the theatre.
- transporting debris to landfill: schedule a time to bring your truck and/or trailer; volunteers will help load debris to your vehicle.
- interior cleaning / painting: cleaning all interior surfaces in the lobby and house/stage area including ceilings, walls, floors, furniture, & decorations. Ceilings and walls will be repainted.

We could use donations / loans of:
• Reusable rags & buckets

• Reusable or disposable cleaning gloves
• Paper towels
