National Historic Trails (Non-Units) - Captain John Smith Chesapeake

Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail (Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New York)

11/8/2008 Drove to Annapolis and parked by the City Dock. Did a little shopping, then walked around the Dock area, which is in the John Smith Chesapeake NHT [MD] [and Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network and Colonial Annapolis Historic District].

9/20/2014 On the road west into Maryland to Chestertown and parked near the Chester River. We checked out the Custom House and a couple of homes on a very quaint street, part of the Chestertown NHLD. This was the chief port for tobacco and wheat on the Eastern Shore of Maryland between 1750 and 1790, and has a collection of more than fifty Georgian style town houses. We walked down to and along the river (on the Chester River Water Trail) on a gorgeous day and enjoyed checking out the Schooner Sultana and others. This area is on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake NHT [MD], and in the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network.
