Honoring Our Past. Celebrating Our Future.
In 2026, America marks 250 years of independence — and here on Maryland’s Lower Shore, we’re celebrating our unique role in that incredible journey.
From working waterfronts, fertile farmlands, and to the cultural crossroads of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester County, our communities have shaped — and been shaped by — the American story. Whether through military service, civic leadership, innovation, or everyday resilience, the people of the Lower Shore have played a vital role in our nation’s development.
As part of the national America250 commemoration, Maryland Lower Shore 250 invites you to explore our shared heritage and engage in meaningful ways. Through local events, educational programs, exhibits, and storytelling, we will honor the generations who came before us and inspire future leaders and changemakers.
