Port Street and Easton Point have the potential to absorb much of that growth responsibly while providing our citizens public waterfront access, a new park, affordable housing, new jobs, and improved streetscapes. This Small Area Plan will provide the much needed road map for that to happen.” -- Mayor Robert “Bob” Willey Executive Summary his Port Street Small Area Plan, developed by the Town of Easton and the Easton Economic T Development Corporation, is meant to guide future development for the area known as Easton Point, and the Port Street corridor connecting Easton Point to downtown Easton. Through its redevelopment, Port Street will become a desirable destination and water gateway into the Town, with diverse uses including cultural, housing, open spaces, walkability, recreation, restaurants and retail. The Small Area Plan is meant to provide a framework for evaluating and locating future commercial and residential projects, determining appropriate levels and locations for civic, commercial and 1 recreational activities, and guiding land use decisions into the future. While focused on the Port Street corridor, this Plan was developed in the context of the broader town and regional landscape of land conservation and smart growth, and informed by broader trends in land use, innovative economic development, and protecting the natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay. This Small Area Plan is intended to be supplemental with the Town of Easton 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the Easton Point Park Plan. The Plan was developed with citizen engagement throughout, in the form of a 47 person committee that met regularly over two years and engaged hundreds of citizens, residents, government officials, property owners and businesses. It includes an enhanced intersection at Easton Parkway and Port Street; with alternative traffic infrastructure and a Rail-Trail extension to the water’s edge. The Plan points to a waterfront destination at Easton Point accessible to all, with an 11-acre park remediating a brownfield parcel, a waterfront promenade and plaza. The Plan calls for environmentally sustainable practices and green technologies. Dynamic interpretation will trace themes of the history of Easton Point through stories of commerce, transportation, manufacturing, maritime, sail and steam, shipbuilding, slavery, the Underground Railroad, agriculture and Chesapeake fisheries. The Port Street Corridor will connect to “The Hill”, Easton’s historic free black neighborhood with interpretation, education and enhanced tourism opportunities. Linkages between downtown and the waterfront will be strengthened through investments in streetscape and bike trails. Port Street Small Area Plan 7 Introduction The Town of Easton has a history of long range, comprehensive planning. In 2009, the Town of Easton worked collaboratively with the Eastern For example, a Plan for “The Hill” was drafted by a multi-disciplinary Shore Land Conservancy, to use a public-participatory process to staff from Morgan State University.

    /V\5A.SC 5^1- i^^ MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Voi,. VI. JUNE, 1911. No. 2. THE MARYLAND GUARD BATTALION, 1860-61.1 ISAAC F. NICHOLSON. (Bead before the Society April 10, 1911.) After an interval of fifty years, it is permitted the writer to avail of the pen to present to a new generation a modest record of a military organization of most brilliant promise— but whose career was brought to a sudden close after a life of but fifteen months. The years 1858 and 1859 were years of very grave import in the history of our city. Local political conditions had become almost unendurable, the oitizens were intensely incensed and outraged, and were one to ask for a reason for the formation of an additional military organization in those days, a simple reference to the prevailing conditions would be ample reply. For several years previous the City had been ruled by the American or Know Nothing Party who dominated it by violence through the medium of a partisan police and disorderly political clubs. No man of opposing politics, however respectable, ever undertook to cast his vote without danger to his life. 'The corporate name of this organization was "The Maryland Guard" of Baltimore City. Its motto, " Decus et Prsesidium." 117 118 MAEYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZIlfE. The situation was intolerable, and the State at large having gone Democratic, some of our best citizens turned to the Legis- lature for relief and drafted and had passed an Election Law which provided for fair elections, and a Police Law, which took the control of that department from the City and placed it in the hands of the State.

  • Dissertation Directed By: “TO DWELL, I'm DETERMINED, on THAT HAPPY GROUND”
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND”: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN- AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787– PRESENT Tracy H. Jenkins, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mark P. Leone Department of Anthropology As early as 1787, free African Americans began making homes in the Easton, Maryland, neighborhood known as The Hill. Over successive generations, The Hill became the cultural and residential center of Easton’s African-American community. The families, businesses, institutions, social fabric, and cultural values that the first generations of free African Americans in Easton created on and around The Hill greatly influenced the development of African- American culture through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in terms of family and household structure, childrearing, religious life, and the memory and meaning of military service. Tracing these developments, with a focus on how African Americans and some white supporters worked together to combat slavery, racism, and other oppressions, illustrates how the politics of the freedom struggle were coded into everyday life. This investigation has also supported local grassroots efforts to preserve the legacy of that struggle on The Hill through public scholarship and practice, historic preservation, and community revitalization. “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND” AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787–PRESENT by Tracy H.

  • Neavitt Survey Distr
    Capsule Summary Neavitt Survey District T-1181 Neavitt, Talbot County, MD c.1858-1952 The Neavitt Survey District, located in western Talbot County, Maryland, contains an extensive collection of houses, one church and cemetery, and very few commercial buildings within the village zoning boundary. These resources date primarily from c.1858 to 1952 and reflect the rapid growth of this water-oriented town that prospered from the seafood industry and supporting businesses on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The district encompasses much of the village’s residential area with a few commercial and public service buildings. The district is principally characterized by frame buildings set on varying-sized lots with a range of foundation types. The district is particularly distinctive for its collection of vernacular houses located near its surrounding creeks and coves. The few buildings that have been elevated due to water intrusion have been extensively altered in recent years, probably after major damage caused from Hurricane Isabel in 2003, which many residents state was the storm that affected the community the most in Neavitt’s lengthy history. The town’s historic resources are located on Balls Creek Road, Bozman-Neavitt Road, Carrollton Road, Duck Cove Lane, Main Street, Middle Point Road, Neavitt Manor Road, Nelson Point Road, and Thamert Street. These streets form the rough boundaries that define the limits of the survey district. The buildings along these streets are more modest vernacular house forms, some with influences by the Queen Anne style. These vernacular house forms include cross-gabled center hall, side hall/parlor plans with varying degrees of architectural decoration.
