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.

Wye Mills is a township on the border of Talbot County and Queen Anne’s County, Maryland. It was the home of the Wye Oak (Maryland’s honorary state tree, which was destroyed in a June 6, 2002, thunderstorm) and of Chesapeake College. In 1671 a gristmill was built on the Wye River here. Over 300 years later, there is still a mill operating on the site, making it the oldest commercial enterprise in Queen Anne’s or Talbot Counties. Also of interest to fishermen, Wye Mills Lake is a standard bass/bluegill lake and is managed as such. Good numbers and sizes of bass and bluegills are present.
