2025 MPA: The William P. and Marjorie Doepkens Family

Outstanding Stewardship of a Cultural Site – The William P. and Marjorie Doepkens Family (Anne Arundel County). Over decades, the Doepkens family carefully stewarded archaeological finds from Mareen Duvall’s Middle Plantation, one of Maryland’s most significant 17th-century sites and a site excavated by the family under the direction of their father, William P. Doepkens. Through meticulous excavation, documentation, and preservation, the family has safeguarded over 50,000 artifacts, including rare and unique items, now donated to MHT’s Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. This extraordinary gift ensures the collection is accessible for research, education, and public engagement, honoring the legacy of Duvall and the Doepkens’ enduring commitment to preserving Maryland’s heritage.
