The Ruffled Duck

The Ruffled Duck Inn is a bed and breakfast nestled in the historic district of the charming Eastern Shore Village of Oxford, Maryland. This completely renovated historic inn is the light hearted vision of yachtsmen Libby and Danny Cole. The blending of traditional and eclectic décor throughout the inn reflects their lives on the water as well as the rich history of the village that was once Maryland’s largest port of call. A great experience for those seeking the solitude of a small town getaway. Visit the The Ruffled Duck for more information.
A nice place to stay

Looking for a vacation spot right in downtown Easton for a week or two (or three). I’d try the Shannahan Brown House. This late Victorian residence is located in the heart of historic Easton, and takes one back to a bygone era. The house has recently come alive, as the owner has furnished the house with many period pieces and items collected while living in the Far East. Guests remark that they enjoy the ambience of staying in a well loved home, rather than in a vacation rental or an inn. Give them a look-see at http://shannahanbrownhouse.com/

Queenstown
December 30th, 2007 at 01:07 pm by Alan in The Small TownsIn the early to mid-1850’s, Queenstown was a stop for many steamboats, which would bring goods to the town and carry passengers up and down the Chester River and to Baltimore. Today, agriculture and seafood harvesting are the dominant economic factors in the area. Retail shopping outlets, located in Queenstown, and the Queenstown Harbor Golf Links, adjacent to the Town, are thriving and bring many visitors to the Town. It also had the distinction of being the first and only town in Queen Anne’s County to be attacked by the British during the War of 1812. Visit the Queenstown website.
