The Historical Society of Cecil County is holding a remembrance program on Dec 8th 2013, as it will be fifty years since Pan American World Airways Flight 214 crashed outside of Elkton, killing everyone onboard the jet.  As we honor the memory of those on the flight and the first responders who answered the urgent call that stormy night, families from throughout the nation are traveling to Elkton on this date.

The Elkton Comfort Suites has partnered with the Society to offer an exclusive discounted rate to those traveling to Elkton over the remembrance weekend.  If you are attending the programs and need overnight accommodations feel free to check with the Comfort Suites.  Tell them you are attending the “Cecil County Historical Society Program,” and they will make the special rate available to you.

The Society thanks the management of the hotel for helping support this important program as families return to Elkton on this weekend in early December to the remember the tragedy that touched so many lives in so many ways.Comfort Suites Hotel Elkton
