St. Michaels is a scenic Maryland harbor town about halfway along the Eastern Shore of the state. Its charm is in its harmonious combination of historical treasures, a working harbor with fishermen hauling the daily catch, lavish estates, wild swans that share the waters with million-dollar sailboats, and so much more. It is home to one of the country’s oldest Episcopal churches and the famous Honeymoon Bridge. A reenactment, in full period costume, of the War of 1812 is just one of the popular attractions. There is also live music in Muskrat Park in the summer, tours of great local vineries, and popular spooky nighttime tours of local historical cemeteries.
