Don't miss this opportunity to explore Maryland's Eastern Shore...
by land and by sea, with the following special tours!
THURSDAY, MAY 31
There's History Around Every Corner: Cambridge, Denton, Easton - 9am -
2pm
Through the Main Street Maryland program, our towns and cities are
experiencing revitalization and growth that allow us to celebrate and
build upon our rich past. The Maryland Department of Housing and
Community Development invites you to experience three of the Main Street
Maryland communities located on the Eastern Shore. A revitalized
commercial district benefits everyone from residents and community
partners, to merchants and financial institutions, to schools and
community groups. See firsthand the economic and community development
challenges faced and conquered and those still being addressed as these
three Main Streets seek to create and implement community endorsed plans
to revitalize, improve, and promote their neighborhoods, economy, and
quality of life.
Caulks Field: Maryland's Last Civil War Battlefield - 2:15pm - 3:45pm
On the moonlit night of August 30, 1814, British naval forces from HMS
Menelaus attacked the Kent County militia in an open field, five miles
west of Chestertown, Maryland. The encounter, known as the Battle of
Caulk's Field, remains the only surviving War of 1812 battlefield on the
Eastern Shore in its original landscape after 194 years. With the
approach of the 1812 bicentennial, it is remarkable that this Maryland
landscape has survived at all - yet it will take citizen-soldiers, like
those of 1814, to preserve this unique Maryland treasure for another 200
years. Other sites in Maryland in towns such as St. Michael's,
Queenstown and Baltimore have all been lost to development due to lack
of understanding of the significance of the War of 1812. The tour will
relate the untold story of this last War of 1812 battlefield landscape
on the Eastern Shore and suggestions on how we may preserve it.
FRIDAY, JUNE 1
Shaping History: Economic and Historic Development of the Eastern Shore
The history of Queen Anne's County dates back to the earliest Colonial
settlements in Maryland. Settlement of the northern portion of the
county began in the 1600s. Early communities grew up around
transportation routes, the rivers and streams, and then roads and
eventually railroads. Small Towns were centers of economic and social
activity and evolved over the years from thriving centers of the tobacco
trade to communities boosted by the railroad boom. Explore the public
and private aspects of life: St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Church Hill,
Dudley's Chapel and Sudlersville Train Station Museum in Sudlersville,
and then Wright's Chance and Tucker House in Centreville.
Schooner Sultana Sail
Up to 32 passengers can sail aboard the 1768 schooner Sultana provides
students of all ages with the ultimate classroom for learning about the
history and environment of the Chesapeake Bay. On board, passengers
travel back in time to the "Age of Sail" and participate in hands-on
activities that are interactive, informative and fun. The Schooner
Sultana is a replica of a Boston-built merchant vessel that served for
four years as the smallest schooner ever in the British Royal Navy.
Using the British Admiralty's meticulous documentation of the original
Sultana, she has been recreated with outstanding detail and offers all
who sail aboard her a terrific glimpse of 18th century seafaring life.
Launched in 2001, and based in the historic port of Chestertown,
Maryland, Sultana now sails as the "Schoolship of the Chesapeake,"
embarking nearly 5,000 students for unique educational programs between
April and November each year.
And we can't wait to see you at the welcoming reception at the Prince
Theater, hosted by Mayor Margo Bailey and the Town of Chestertown!
