Area Attractions: En Route to Harbourtowne Golf and Conference Center, you’ll drive through historic St. Michaels. Before returning home, learn how this town ‘Fooled the British’ during colonial times. Exploring the local bistros, galleries, and antique shops are all part of your Harbourtowne experience. It’s not to be missed.

St. Michaels, founded in 1677 by English settlers, is located a quick bike ride or an effortless car ride from Harbourtowne. A shipbuilding center and trading port from colonial times to the early 1800’s, St. Michaels today retains the quiet charm and hospitality of an earlier age.

Take time to stroll the brick-lined walkways and soak in the historic flavor of the colonial homes, stone churches, decorated storefronts, and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. The museum is a 16-acre complex of indoor and outdoor exhibits, tracing the history and traditions of the Chesapeake Bay. The museum offers an array of events throughout the year including Big Band concerts under the stars as well as a variety of festivals.

Enjoy a ride on the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, “America’s Oldest Ferry,” a tour in a horse-drawn carriage or a cruise in a working, sail-powered skipjack. Many entertainment options abound in the area, adding to your experience.
