There are a few places on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake County that offer multiple “Point of Interests”. One of these is Long Wharf Park in Cambridge.

It’s a park that hosts a memorial to President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the smokestack from the Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The smokestack was converted to an elevator to allow the president to move between the upper and lower decks.

This is not the only Memorial at Long Wharf Park. There is also a World War memorial and a monument dedicated to five WWI heroes who won the Distinguished Service Cross. The names of Lt. Henry Barber Jr., Pvt. Harry Insley, Pvt. James Miller, Sgt. Carl Horseman, and Cpl. Harford Smith are engraved in the dark stone.

Long Wharf park is one of the stops on the Harriet Tubman Byway.

A replica of the Choptank River Lighthouse is at the end of Pier A. The six-sided screw-pile lighthouse guided mariners along the Choptank River for generations. The replica was completed in fall 2012. The original Choptank River Lighthouse stood between Castle Haven and Benoni Points on the Choptank River, near the mouth of the Tred Avon River.
