Itinerary Ideas

Need some itinerary ideas? Stroll along historic High Street with costumed guides on a walking tour, or sail aboard a skip jack to learn the traditional methods of harvesting oysters. Visit local museums that preserve our abundant heritage through exhibits, events and oral history presentations explaining the courageous acts of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad story, shipbuilding and the Oyster Wars, Native American communities and agriculture.

Unwind while biking or boating in pristine settings, and keep your camera ready for a sighting of the American bald eagle, osprey or many other varieties of birds.
