Caroline County-established, 1773, from parts of Queen Anne’s and Dorchester Counties – held its early courts at seven different locations until 1797 when its first courthouse was built on this site, once known as Pig Point.

The 1895 replacement was renovated and extensively added to, 1966. The courthouse was purchased 1791 for 120 shillings.”

The Court House is one of the stops on the Harriet Tubman Byway. It is also one of the location on Maryland’s Civil War Trail. With the addition of the Thomas Carney Historical Marker on April 30th, it can also be a stop for those who want to know more about the American Revolution.

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 Tuesday Morning. Please come by to read read them and learn a little about the remarkable people, places and events throughout the region.

Why am I doing “Marker Tuesday” and the the often seen “Marker Monday”? No reason other than be different. Enjoy.
