Denton SMALL TOWNS: RELAXING AND REWARDING While we’re bragging, the town of St. Michaels was named one of USA Today ’s “Top 10 Best Small Coastal Towns.” The town is pretty much everything the Eastern Shore does best. What started as a hotbed for early American shipbuilding is now best suited to build memories that will last a lifetime with its cozy shops and incredible dining. Head to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to learn everything there is to know about the body of water that brings the state to life—or set sail on a boat tour to see it for yourself. Denton, once a key port on the Choptank River, trades in a different sort of commerce now. Located on Artsway at Forth is the Fiber Arts Center of the Eastern Shore, the Caroline County Council of Arts Gallery, and artists-in-residence. Learn about the area’s agricultural heritage at the Museum of Rural Life, part of the Stories of the Chesapeake Heritage Area, then indulge in local fruits of the land at the Market Street Public House, or Shore Gourmet located in the Caroline Schoolhouse. Don’t depart without a box of Savor Maryland goodies. St. Michaels Photos: (top) St. Michaels harbor (Tamas) 102 / VISITMARYLAND.ORG
