A Brief History of Somerset County,
Maryland
Harvesting seafood is a way of life in
Somerset County. This rural county was founded in 1666 and
was named for Lady Mary Somerset, sister of Cecilius
Calvert's wife, Lady Anne Arundell. Most of the settlers
came from Virginia to escape religious persecution.
The town of Crisfield is known as "The
Crab Capital of the World" because so many of the residents'
lives are centered around these tasty crustaceans. A visit
to the Governor Tawes Historical Museum in Crisfield will
take you through the town's history, its seafood industry
and life of the area. Take a cruise boat or ferry to Smith
Island, a unique community where things have changed very
slowly since the island was first settled.
In the historic district of Princess
Anne, the county seat, the county historical society is
headquartered in the Teackle Mansion, an imposing replica of
a Scottish manor house. From horse-drawn farm implements to
musical instruments, you'll see thousands of items from
turn-of-the-century rural life at the Burgess Americana
Museum. The Fairmount Academy in Upper Fairmount is another
reminder of days gone by. This two-story gothic revival
structure is the last 19th-century schoolhouse standing in
the country.
