On 9 November join the club on a field trip to historic Chesapeake City Maryland.

Chesapeake City is located along one of the busiest canals in the world! As early as the 17th century, local settlers (including the famous surveyor and map maker Augustine Herman) recognized the possibility of connecting the Chesapeake Bay with the Delaware River. Chesapeake City is currently the only town in Maryland that is situated on a working commercial canal. Most of its interesting 19th-century architecture remains intact, and the area that encompasses it on the south bank has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chesapeake City is on the National and Maryland Historic Registries. This beautiful town features lovely, restored homes, inns and B&Bs. You will find great shops, restaurants, the C&D Canal Museum, bike trails and outdoor summer concerts.

Chesapeake City is located approximately 75 miles 1 hr 18 min North of Severna Park Baptist Church. You can enter this address into your GPS 100 Bohemia Ave, Chesapeake City, MD 21915. Click here for directions.
