Historian Mike Dixon will explore the character, ambiance, and history of country roads in Cecil County.

In the 21st century, many of Cecil County’s back roads — the scenic routes — and the small hamlets and villages clustered around those once-well traveled corridors are overlooked. This program explores the character, ambiance and history of some of these lesser-traveled roads, routes that once were main corridors of travel between Philadelphia, Baltimore and other nearby points. These historic roadways are much more than just a line on the map so come along for an enjoyable trip as we hear intriguing narratives about life in the past lane in Cecil County where discover awaits you.

Join us to find your road in this intriguing exploration of these lesser traveled roads today in the modern age. Many were once the main corridors of the 17th and 18th century.
