Today we are down in Calvert County in a town called Chesapeake Beach. If it were 100 years ago, you would not be packing your car to head to Ocean City for the weekend, you would be packing your trunk to take on a steamship from Baltimore to Chesapeake Beach. On a busy weekend, 10,000 people would visit this town, arriving by water, or by train from Washington, DC. Thanks for watching and see you soon with another video.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
