The Eastern Shoreway is
a 45-mile stretch of US 301 through Maryland’s Eastern Shore
from Queenstown north to the Maryland/Delaware state line traversing
farm fields, meadows, woodlands, and the headwaters of two major
tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, the Chester and Sassafras rivers.
This tapestry of agricultural land is woven into rich natural open
space that is an hour’s drive from Philadelphia, Baltimore
and the nation’s
capital.
Under the leadership of Adkins Arboretum, the Eastern
Shoreway Alliance, a consortium of individuals and agencies
working to preserve the Eastern Shoreway, envisions a special driving
experience that is educational and memorable inspiring those who
travel the Eastern Shoreway to preserve and protect it. The Shoreway
will be a model for 21st century highways and America's
special places.
