Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway and Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway are 2 of 3 signed byways within 30 miles of Eastern Shore, Maryland.
Understand
The Eastern Shore was largely isolated from the rest of Maryland until the construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1952. As a result, values tend to be conservative and closely related to the rural South, as opposed to mainland Maryland or Virginia, which is perceived by locals as more liberal. For this reason, many residents take offense being compared to Marylanders from across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. This sense of alienation from the rest of Maryland has spurred several attempts to split off from the state of Maryland.
The same roads run past Easton, where they are ranked and described in full.
