  • Located at the Western End of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Is A
    QA-587 Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Chester, Queen Anne's County Constructed circa 1890 - circa 2000 Private Located at the western end of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District is a primarily linear district that runs along both Cox Neck Road and Postal Road near their intersection. The district runs south along the east side of Cox Neck Road for approximately one-tenth of a mile, and east along Postal Road on both sides for approximately one-third of a mile. Now almost exclusively commercial, the overwhelming majority of the resources appear to have been constructed as single dwellings. The community is composed of 31 resources - 21 contributing properties and ten non-contributing properties - that display several popular vernacular architectural forms and styles spanning primarily the first half of the twentieth century. No single form or style dominates the district, although a significant number of mid- twentieth-century tract houses in a modified Cape Cod form are present. Non-historic buildings constructed between circa 1960 and circa 2000 are interspersed with the historic buildings. The historic buildings of the survey district represent a good collection of late nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century architectural forms and styles found in Queen Anne's County. The district retains its linear pattern of development tied to Postal Road east of the intersection with Cox Neck Road. Early residents were merchants who served travelers along the Centreville to Broad Creek Road (now Maryland Route 18), and local farmers, watermen, and others who lived on Cox Neck Road. The district's buildings reflect the economic growth in this area of Chester from the 1890s (following the substantial growth in the maritime industry), to the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and U.S.

  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.

  • Phase I, II and III Investigations of Wye Hall (18QU977), Queen Anne’S County, Maryland, for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources
    Phase I, II and III Investigations of Wye Hall (18QU977), Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. By Jennifer J. Babiarz, Amelia Chisholm, and Mark P. Leone Department of Anthropology University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 Principal Investigators Mark P. Leone and Jennifer J. Babiarz Department of Anthropology University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 Report Prepared for The Maryland Department of Natural Resources 580 Taylor Avenue Tawes State Office Building Annapolis, MD 21401 Archaeology in Annapolis A Cooperative Project between The University of Maryland at College Park, The Banneker-Douglass Museum, and The City of Annapolis 2008 Abstract This report describes a three years of investigations to further define the archaeological resources of the privately owned Wye Hall plantation (18QU977), late 18th century home of William Paca, Maryland governor and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Wye Hall is located on Wye Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Queen Anne‟s County. Past archaeological work at Wye Hall, from 2000 through 2002, revealed extensive information about the design and usage of the original mansion and gardens from William Paca‟s time. The fieldwork documented in this report was centered on investigation of the area to the east of the main mansion, which is believed to be an area of enslaved habitation during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This represents the first recognized Phase III investigation of a slave quarter in Queen Anne‟s County. Therefore, the results are very important for augmenting Maryland‟s Eastern Shore narratives of the past, particularly in relation to the voice and space given to African and African American histories.
