There are live human guides around but they do not walk the place with you but are available to answer any questions you might have. The recorded tour was very good with many options to hear the story of the place and its inhabitants. The enslaved and indentured folks who lived and worked here are well represented in the tour. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend a stop. We spent 2 solid hours inside the Plantation house and walking the grounds. You can stay as long as you wish. Cost was minimal $14 each and value was excellent. You could choose just a house or exterior tour we chose both. Mark & Nancy.

The Garden of Remembrance honors all those held dear in the hearts of area residents. It also honors First Ladies Mrs. John Quincy Adams and Mrs. Zachary Taylor, who were related by birth or family ties to St. Leonard. Calvert County has, remarkably, retained four of its historic polling houses - Utilitarian in nature, these one-room structures served the county from the late 19th through the mid-20th century. Most had two doors so that voters could move easily in one door, cast their vote, and exit out the other. These structures have an important story to tell as the center of civic life. "These polling houses weren't segregated - Calvert County's black and white residents cast their votes together here. Following school integration in the 1960s, the polling houses were abandoned and voting often took place in schools." Oral histories document that these sites served as important centers of social as well as political activity, with oysters, crabcakes, and fried chicken being sold to hungry voters here on election day. Although the way in which we cast our vote may have changed, our responsibility has not. As you make your way to the polls this Election Day, remember the story of these humble landmarks....and then go get a crabcake! Location. 38° 28.266′ N, 76° 30.285′ W. Marker is in Saint Leonard, Maryland, in Calvert County. Marker is on St. Leonard Road (Maryland Route 765) 0.1 miles south of Calvert Beach Road, on the right when traveling south.

Chartered in 1744, many of the buildings and houses were built in the 1700s and are now part of the town's historic charm. Population of about 200, Port Royal sits next to the Rappahannock River in the Northern Neck of Virginia just off of the James Madison Memorial Bridge. While exploring area, be sure to check out the Port Royal Museum to get a snapshot of this town's significance. It was here that James Wilkes Booth was shot, and also had some Civil War action as well. Tool around the roads off of Route 301 to capture the feel of PR. You will not only see some cool colonial architecture, but you will find a wildlife refuge and some other points of interest. There are several restaurants on the main road, and Horne's is a great travel pit stop! There are several antique shops and a trading post dotted along the highway along with a produce stand and a municipal pier. It won't take long to explore this location but it will linger in your mind as a memorable experience.

On November 11, 1864, she left the flotilla base at St. Inigoes on her way to the Navy shipyards in Washington D.C., for repair. Not long underway, as she passed the Piney Point lighthouse, the boiler exploded and she sank immediately. Only eight of the crew of fifty-seven survived. Some of the unknown dead are buried here in this peaceful locust grove on the shores of the river. Well worth your time to visit.
