trails, driving tours and the Harriet Tubman Museum Center honor their experiences and contributions to free enslaved people. The Chesapeake County All-American Road journeys through Wicomico County and Pemberton Historical Park. Salisbury boasts plenty of
fun things to see and do, including the Salisbury Zoo, public art, and historical walking tours. The Eastern Shore also hosts unique seasonal festivals highlighting authentic coastal cuisine along Maryland’s Crab and Oyster Trail.<o:p></o:p></p>
