"The Town That Fooled The British"

Established in 1677 by sturdy pioneers and boat builders, our small village on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay has prospered while maintaining its historic roots. Take a leisurely walking tour, visit dozens of quaint shops, watch a log canoe race, and pick crabs with the locals. From our world-class hotels, to cozy B&Bs and guest houses, varied accommodations will make you feel at home.

The nationally known Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is right in town on the Miles River, with changing exhibits, a lighthouse to explore, and boat rides available on a restored skipjack. Learn about early family life at St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary's Square and enjoy our wide range of excellent restaurants. Each season will give you a wonderful memory.
