Greg Lewis

Greg Lewis, a long-time manager at Patuxent River Park, played an instrumental role in making Jug Bay a national asset by vastly expanding the protected areas, securing preservation as part of CBNERR-MD, and helping develop the Patuxent Water Trail. Greg brought alive the socio-cultural history of the land and the river by incorporating within the park two historic mansions and an archaeological park, and adding a blacksmith shop, a 1923 Sears catalog house, a tobacco farming museum and a "Working the River" building. His broad impact on Jug Bay and the Patuxent River truly represents the spirit of the Jug Bay award.
