Heritage development begins by reviewing the history of a region, identifying the resources that remain from each historical period, and uncovering the themes of cultural development that tell the most compelling story of life in that region. 

The heritage of the Eastern Shore rivals any in Maryland in statewide and national significance.  The area abounds with cultural, historic, and natural resources.  There is no lack of stories, resources, and themes that illustrate life on Marylandâs Eastern Shore. 

Historic resources, natural resources, and those of statewide significance, including Historic Districts, form the basis of Interpretive Themes that will foster heritage tourism and investment in the Eastern Shore Heritage Area.
