“Cambridge
Originally part of the Choptank Indian Reservation laid out for them in 1669. Cambridge was made a Port f Entry by the Assembly in 1684. It is one of the few towns authorized at that early date that has survived.
Located in Cambridge, Dorchester County Maryland South of Frederick C. Marlkus Bridge over the Choptank River at the Dorchester County Visitor Center.
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 not the often seen “Marker Monday”? No reason other than be different. Enjoy.

You are doing what I said I wanted to do many years ago and just never got around to it. Enjoy reading and traveling the Chesapeake Country Roads on Tuesday mornings.
