Did you know that Snow Hill, MD coined the phrase “First Friday”? Yep, true story! That’s just one of many interesting facts we learned when we went day trippin’ to Snow Hill, MD!
During our recent day trip to Snow Hill, town administrators Ann Gibbs and Michael Day gave us a brief history of the town. Located on the banks of the Pocomoke River, Snow Hill was the logical county seat for Worcester County, Maryland. Snow Hill’s proximity to the river lead to its prosperous history as an active port, transporting agricultural goods and iron around the area. Snow Hill was originally chartered in 1686 and was officially designated a royal port by William and Mary of England in 1694. They filled our arms with as many brochures and pamphlets as we could possibly hold and sent us off to explore.
The town of Snow Hill is home to three schools, twelve churches, three museums, three riverside parks; with a handful of nature parks and trails right outside town limits, Snow Hill truly has something fun for everyone. The streets are filled with charming, old homes and building facades that are incredibly intricate. We could walk around staring at the architectural detail for hours. Walking along we noticed that many of the historic homes are located along Church St. One of our favorite details of the town was that three of the historic homes have been turned into adorable little bed and breakfasts – a few of them have even begun renting out rooms on Air BnB to make your booking experience that much more convenient!

Good thing they didn't go when the town was flooded.
Four schools, not three--please don't forget our kiddos at Cedar Chapel. =)
