since 1634, when 140 hardy adventurers first stepped
  onto our bountiful Chesapeake shore. Maryland began
  here!

   Today, historic sites and natural wonders, scrumptious
   seafood and fantastic festivals, wide-open water and 
   quaint shopping towns await our modern-day visitors.  

   Reconnect. Rejuvenate. Relax. Have fun!
   Come visit, and make a little history of your own!
