St. Michaels is a historic town located on Maryland's Eastern Shore, situated along the Miles River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay. Founded in the 1600s, this waterfront community has deep maritime roots and was once a significant shipbuilding center.
The town played a notable role during the War of 1812, earning the nickname "The Town that Fooled the British" when residents dimmed their lights and hung lanterns in trees outside town, causing British cannons to overshoot their targets. Today, St. Michaels maintains its historical charm while serving as a cultural center that celebrates its maritime heritage. The town is particularly known for preserving and showcasing the region's maritime history and the traditional life of the Chesapeake Bay watermen through its museums and cultural institutions. Its well-preserved historic district features examples of colonial and federal period architecture, reflecting its development as both a shipbuilding and seafood processing center.
