Preservation Maryland

Preservation Maryland is thankful to be part of a wonderful community committed to protecting and promoting our shared heritage – not least of which is our culinary traditions. Enjoy our tastiest post of the year as we share an array of classic Maryland Thanksgiving recipes, including recipes from A Taste of History with Joyce White, Old Line Plate, and others.

Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. It’s Halloween and of course we’re exploring some of Maryland’s spookiest (haunted?) historic sites. Ghostly footsteps and a young girl carrying a basket of flowers…burn your sage, hide under the covers, and read on to hear some of Maryland’s favorite ghost stories.

Before summer officially comes to a close next week, there is still time to make the trek across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore. Walking the Ocean City boardwalk (constructed in 1900) and digging your toes in the sand are pleasant experiences no matter the time of year. But our beautiful beaches aren’t the only reason to head east. Take your time and explore Maryland’s history and culture through these four Eastern Shore destinations.
