Princess Anne - Washington Hotel, 1940sThis old colonial inn, built in 1744 during the reign of King George II, carries all who enter its doors back to the days when democracy was in the making. There are two stairways in this old historical hotel, side by side, one which was used by the ladies and the other by the gentlemen. The sides of the colonial mantle are worn away where, nearly 200 years ago, men propped their feet by the fire.

Princess Anne Academy, Eastern Branch, Maryland Agricultural CollegeWhat was at the time called the Delaware Conference Academy for Negroes was founded in 1886 by the Delaware Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and it was, at the time, a preparatory school for the private Centenary Biblical Institute in Baltimore, later known as Morgan College. In 1890, it was renamed the Princess Anne Academy and was aligned with the then Maryland Agricultural College. The State of Maryland purchased the Academy in 1935, and in 1936 it became a part of the University of Maryland, bearing the name Maryland State College from 1948 until 1970. In 1970 it was renamed University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Salisbury - Lemmon Hill (John B. Parsons Home for the Aged)Originally part of Pemberton's Good Will, Lemmon Hill was named for a Dr. Richard Lemmon who lived there until he died in 1857. A huge old white oak tree stood on this land, and the first Old School Baptist sermon ever heard on the Eastern Shore was preached under its boughs. The Baptists made an annual pilgrimage to the tree during their Yearly Meeting until it was destroyed in the great fire of 1886. John D. Parsons, who later owned the home, bequeathed the property for use as a home for the aged.
