Snow Hill, Maryland Images of America

Not being a native of Worcester County and having worked in Snow Hill for the past 12 years, I found this book fascinating. I have admired the architecture of the churches and older homes I have seen here and this book gave me an insight of the history behind the town and the culture. This pictorial history of this small town makes it an interesting and easy to read book. If you have never been to Snow Hill the book is enticing enough to make you want to visit. I found it interesting that Snow Hill boasts one of the largest concentrations of historical church and commercial buildings still intact in the state of Maryland. Joyce of Maryland

Snow Hill

If ever a book describes a small, historic town settled during the dawn of the American colonial period (1684), it is, "Snow Hill." I've been to Snow Hill and through the book, I revisited the town streets lined with their stately homes and found the revisit just as colorful and accurate as I recall them in my mind's eye. Happily, it is a photographically intensive book which makes for easy reading. I believe that "Snow Hill" will fit quite comfortably and quite authoritatively in the Arcadia Publishing's series, "Images of America." If you are interested in an excellent documentation of a small, colonial town that grows up, down and up again into the 21st Century, read "Snow Hill." It's a must for any library on Americana.

Well Done!

I live near Snow Hill, Maryland, and this pictoral history gives a real insight to the early days of this charming town. It's worth the price for anyone who has visited or plans to visit the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. Luis Granados
