Tyaskin - St. Mary's Episcopal ChurchThe organization of a separate Episcopal congregation independent of Green Hill and St. Paul's dates to the last decades of the 18th century. A frame chapel stood on this site by 1796-98 and soon became a local landmark and point of reference for area descriptions. The chapel is referred to in several entries in the Federal Direct tax assessment levied in 1798. The late eighteenth century chapel burned in 1834, and it was not replaced by the current building (shown here) until eleven years later, in 1845.Jul 31, 2023

Hebron - Old Spring Hill ChurchAlso known as St. Paul's Episcopal Church, this historic Episcopal church on Rt 50 near Hebron was built in 1773 and was a chapel of ease for Stepney Parish. Fire destroyed the wooden church on July 22, 2014, months after it celebrated its 240th anniversary. Nearly 100 firefighters from numerous fire departments, including Wicomico and Sussex Counties, responded to the fire.

Green Hill Church (St. Bartholomew's Episcopal)Green Hill was the original parish church of Stepney Parish, which was laid out in 1692. In around 1694, a log church building was constructed here, replaced in 1733 with this current brick building. Though there are no regular services conducted here, the church is reopened every year in August for the annual St. Bartholomew's Day celebration and worship service. Three local Episcopal churches participate in this service: St. Mary's in Tyaskin, St. Phillip's in Quantico, and St. Paul's in Salisbury.Jul 31, 2023

Salisbury - Aftermath of the Great Salisbury FireOn October 17, 1886 a small fire was discovered at Toadvine's Livery Stable on Dock Street, now Market Street. Fire spread very rapidly and eventually consumed 200 buildings including most of the commercial district. Soon after the fire began, Salisbury requested assistance from the other towns on the shore. Crisfield, Pocomoke City and Wilmington loaded their fire department steamers on special railroad trains and sent them to Salisbury's aid. The fire was brought under control on October 18, 1886.Jul 31, 2023

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.Jul 31, 2023
