Salisbury is the biggest city on the Eastern Shore, considering that Ocean City’s population diminishes and increases seasonally. It started as a mill community in the hub of heavy woods in 1732. The Wicomico River gave critical water access to the Chesapeake, and the town increased as the main junctions of the southern Delmarva Peninsula. The significance of water travel during colonial days was highlighted by the popularity of ferries; one that survives currently is the Whitehaven Ferry, on the very southern end of the nation. Nowadays, the city continues to flourish as a hub of commerce, and features major recreational and historical attractions for guests of all ages – all thanks to a very active historical society.
The town also offers two very unique attractions: the Salisbury Pewter, one of the oldest and most respected names in the craft, and the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, with its astonishing carved-wood representations of wildlife. At Salisbury Pewter, you’ll have the opportunity to view artisans at work while picking up some great treasures. You’ll also find an open-air zoo in the middle of the town park. This is a delightful spot for your little ones, and a number of casual to upscale-dining restaurants offer refreshment after a long walk.
