Inscription:
“Gary’s Creek – Indian Path
Dorchester County

Gary’s Creek was named for Stephen Gary (d. 1686), high sheriff and one of the judges of Dorchester County for whom “Spocott” was surveyed on this creek December 27, 1662. This road about 1663 was the Indian Path from the Indian towns on Choptank River to Jordans Point (Mill’s Point) on Chesapeake Bay.”

This marker is located in Lloyds, Maryland, Dorchester County at the intersection of Hudson Road (Maryland Route 343) and Spocott Lane.

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.
