Salisbury Riverfest

Autumn Wine Festival

There's plenty to do in Salisbury this summer!
 

  Attraction of the Month:
     Whitehaven Ferry

Explore Wicomico County via the Whitehaven Ferry, which has been in operation for more than 300 years. Dating back to as early as 1692, the Whitehaven Ferry is said to be one of the longest continuously operated ferries in the country. Today, the ferry provides up to three cars at a time access from the historic town of Whitehaven to Somerset County.

Established in 1708, Whitehaven Village was once a busy maritime town frequented by salesmen who traveled to and from Annapolis and Baltimore. At that time it boasted shipyards, a roller rink, bowling alley, soda parlor and dance hall. It is said that Whitehaven Village is where Edna Ferber, inspired by the stories of the salesmen who traveled the Wicomico River, wrote "Show Boat."

Today, however, Whitehaven is a unique, tightly-knit village of just fifty people. The town's historic Whitehaven Hotel serves as a reminder of the town's long history, and as a quaint bed and breakfast for those looking to get away from it all.
