Inscription:

The first Methodist meeting house in Queen Anne’s County. It is one of the earliest surviving Methodist Churches in the nation. It grew out of a society organized in 1774. Bishops Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke and Richard Whatcoat preached here. The brick Chapel was renovated in 1883.

On National Register of Historic Places”

The marker is in Sudlersville, Maryland, in Queen Anne’s County on Benton Corner Road.

This feature of posting Highway Historical Markers was put on hold last November. I do not really know why. Regardless of the reason, it’s time to bring it back. Only this time I will be terming it as Marker Monday.

As a reminder, along the roads in Maryland there are roadside historical markers. Hundreds on Maryland Eastern Shore. The program was launched in 1933 and is currently administered by the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) in cooperation with the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA).These roadside historical markers are an effective way to draw attention to the many events, people and places that have contributed to the history of Maryland and the nation.

Often we will pass these signs at a speed that makes them hard to read. I will be posting one of these Highway Historical Markers each week. Please come by to read read them and learn a little about the remarkable people, places and events throughout the region.
