The Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area

Beauty, nature, history, cultural traditions, the arts, recreation and small towns vie for your attention in the 1,200 square miles north of the Choptank and Marshyhope Rivers at the heart of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.  Threaded by waterways and estuaries of the northern half of the Chesapeake Bay, this is a living landscape filled with stories both old and new.    Click here to find out more.

 

Inspired by the Bay… Cultural & Artistic Expression

Fine art and photography, literature and poetry, drama and dance and traditional crafts create a lively arts experience, often expressing the strong sense of place exerted by the Chesapeake Bay.  As you visit galleries and museums, shops and theaters, studios and farmers markets, you’ll discover traditions and lifestyles embraced by community, land and water.   Click here to find out more.

 

Playing by the Bay… Recreation & Renewal

Renew your spirits with an outing by kayak or bicycle, charter a skipjack or other historic wooden boats, enjoy a tour of the Bay’s lighthouses, soar in a hot air balloon or relax with a fishing pole.  Enjoy abundant water access and even more abundant wildlife.  Recreation has a long history here!   Click here to find out more.

 

Building by the Bay… Architecture & Landscape

From the leafy streets of front porch neighborhoods to the sunny streets of friendly shopping districts, more than two dozen historic communities and crossroads villages enjoy rich architecture and sweeping landscapes.  Explore country roads, see historic plantation homes, country churches and old mills.  Enjoy the land and sky of wide open farms and picturesque views across the water everywhere.  Click here to find out more.
