Chesapeake City Area – Another National Register Historic town is Chesapeake City, actually north and south Chesapeake City, as the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal separates the town in two. New development on the north side is in the works prompting a lot of interest from the hordes of visitors who flock to the unique offerings from Canal Days in the summer to the galleries, boutiques, shops, bakeries, terrific restaurants from gourmet to walk away, antique shops and much more. Ghost Walks in October, Candlelight Tours of historic homes in December and much more await in this charming and picturesque town.
Cecilton Area – Just south of Chesapeake City, near the Kent County, Md., line and Middletown, Del., is Cecilton, a crossroads community on Route 213. Cecilton is home to Moon Nurseries and Priapi Gardens, wonderful jaunts for a visit and shopping. Greenfield Castle with a wonderful Christmas Shop is a bit down the road as are boat launching points, historic St. Francis Xavier’s, Mt. Harmon Plantation, and more. The Cecilton Fireman’s Carnival and a variety of music in the park are offered, and the very unique Daffodil Days in Cecilton are not to be missed.
