East New Market is pleasantly situated in the center of Dorchester County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The town’s location places it in the midst of a rich farming area and yields large crops of grains and vegetables.

Located approximately 15 miles northeast of Cambridge, with State Highway Routes 14 and 16 intersecting the town, East New Market has long been known as the “cross roads”.  It is a nice town to visit just to see the fine examples of pre-revolutionary homes such as Buckland or the Daffin Mitchell house.  Visit the town’s website.

Stately historic architecture and a walkable downtown create the charm of Snow Hill. This seat of the Worcester County government was founded in 1642 and named for a district of London. After more than 300 years, and a fire in 1893 that destroyed the original downtown, Snow Hill still stands along the banks of the wild and scenic Pocomoke River, one of Maryland’s most beautiful recreational waterways.

Pets on wheels Delmarva is a group of volunteer teams (pet and handler) who visit nursing homes, assisted living homes, homes for the handicapped and other facilities. The friendly visits are always welcomed by both the residents and their care givers. Pet volunteers have an instinctive way of giving comfort and joy to folks which often exceeds human contact. On some days, a visit from a Pets On Wheels volunteer team may be the only contact from the outside world for a resident. Many residents have had to give up their pets and enjoy remembering them when they interact during a Pets On Wheels visit. Visit the Pets on Wheels website.
