Snow Hill

Snow Hill is the oldest town in Worcester County, established as a town in 1686, and has been the county seat for centuries. Snow Hill is nestled on the bank of the scenic Pocomoke River.

Take a self-guided walking tour of Snow Hill and appreciate the beauty of the many historic homes and churches. The arts district is alive and well in Snow Hill. The town celebrates a monthly arts stroll, holds a weekly antiques auction, and is home to several restaurants and one-of-a kind shops.

Just a few miles into the Pocomoke State Forest lies Furnace Town, a restored and recreated 1800s industrial village and Nassawango
Iron Furnace. Explore Furnace Town to see artifacts and authentic buildings from the period. Witness a real working blacksmith’s shop, a
weaver, broom maker and a demonstration garden.

Also on the history front, visit the Julia A. Purnell Museum in Snow Hill to learn about Worcester County history. Go for the day, or
stay longer — a number of historic bed and breakfasts can accommodate you.
