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.
