Queenstown

December 30th, 2007 at 01:07 pm by Alan in The Small Towns

In 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.
