Princess Anne

Princess Anne is in the Eastern Shore region of Maryland. It is a small historic town in Somerset County, Maryland, only fifteen minutes away from Salisbury.

Understand
Founded in 1733, and shortly thereafter becoming the seat of Somerset County, the main reason for a tourist to visit is simply to enjoy the pretty, historic architecture in this pleasant small town. Just east of the historic center is the other main reason why people visit: the University of Maryland's Eastern Shore campus.

Get in
U.S. Routes 13, 50, and 301 are the main roads into the Eastern Shore. U.S. Route 13 will take you to Princess Anne.

Get around
Because it is a small town, the best means of travel is by car, although its small size also makes it very walkable. The town is also bike-friendly, with bike lanes and sharrows located along Somerset Avenue.

See
Princess Anne doesn't have a lot of stand out attractions per se, but a nice walk around the historic buildings is a good use of your time. Look for the Somerset County Courthouse, the Metropolitan United Methodist Church, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Manokin Presbyterian Church, the Washington Hotel, and especially the Teackle Mansion.
