Cecil County’s Oldest Incorporated Town Has Well Maintained Historic District

Posted on July 26, 2012 by admin

While we’re sharing photos of Charlestown, here are a few more.  The attractive, well-preserved, colonial-era historic district, creates an ideal setting as we delve into the past, strolling around to meet characters from an important era in our history.  During the War of 1812 British sailing ships-of-the-line were plying the waters of the Northeast River and the Upper Chesapeake, creating great alarm and we will dramatically share those narratives.
