historic saint mary's city

The farm that I am going to tell you about today is one of the oldest places not only in Maryland but the entire continent of North America. Saint Mary's City was the 4th permanent settlement when the British began coming to America. Today you can find Saint Mary's City near the southern most tip of Saint Mary's County. Here you can find outlines and frames of barns, churches and other structures that scientists and archaeologist know from research were once there. As a child growing up in St. Mary's County, I have had the pleasure of taking a field trip or two to Saint Mary's City and experiencing all of the history and entertainment it has to offer. Though Saint Mary's City is more of a settlement than a farm, in 1634 when it was first established, farming and working the water was one of the few ways of life. A historical attraction, Saint Mary's City is a place for people to visit and learn about the history of Southern Maryland and experiencing it's beautiful sights as well.
