African American Historical Sites on Maryland's Coast

Maryland’s Coast is home to an abundance of African American history with notable historical sites around Worcester County towns. The African American history and community have been a prominent factor in shaping the life as we now know it on Maryland’s Coast with cultural traditions, and impactful service of local, state, and national prominence. With these trails and significant landmarks, we aim to dive into the complex history of the African American experience on the Eastern Shore and shed light on the cultural impact of our region. 

Ocean City, MD contributes to these efforts by presenting Dreamfest!
