Maryland's Eastern Shore reflects close ties between land and water through communities with distinct histories and landscapes. Cecilton lies in a diverse farming region where much land is protected in agricultural preserves, and visitors can see grain fields, horse farms, nurseries, greenhouse operations, and Amish farmers working with horse-drawn plows. In 1608, Captain John Smith explored the Sassafras River near present-day Galena and was welcomed by the chief of the palisaded Native American village of Tockwogh; Galena, once called Georgetown Cross Roads, is now known for antiques, dogwood-lined streets, and community dinners. Officially established in 1707, Rock Hall is an important port of call with a working waterfront heritage, represented by the Rock Hall Museum, the Waterman's Museum, and the Tolchester Beach Revisited Museum, which preserves the history of a bayside amusement park that operated from 1877 to 1962. Chestertown has served as a Royal Port of Entry, was the scene of a Revolutionary protest over imported tea in 1774, and developed as a center of trade, farming, and culture, with sites including the county courthouse, Emmanuel Church, Fountain Park, the Charles Sumner G.A.R. Hall, the Geddes-Piper House, Washington College, and many eighteenth-century buildings. Church Hill grew around a 1698 water mill, and Saint Luke's Church stands on the hill that gave the town its name, while the Church Hill Theatre, built in 1929, was saved from demolition in the 1980s and now hosts productions. Centreville, incorporated in 1794 and the seat of Queen Anne's County, features pre-Civil War and Victorian architecture, notable eighteenth-century buildings, a courthouse in continuous use since 1796, and Centreville Landing, where homes recall the sea captains and maritime merchants who shaped the Corsica River economy. Stevensville preserves nineteenth-century history and architecture through Christ Church, the Old Stevensville Post Office, the Cray House, and a twenty-three-stop historic district walking tour. At Kent Narrows, the Chesapeake Exploration Center interprets the Bay's formation, regional settlement, the tobacco era, the seafood industry, the opening of the Bay Bridge, and the relationship between people and the Bay environment. Chesapeake City's historic area is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Maryland Register of Historic Properties, and the town contains many restored historic homes, shops, and galleries.
