Across the street from DelMarVa Discovery Center, right off where the Bay Queen calls it quits for the day, hides a place of often unspoken history in Pocomoke City, Maryland.

This small museum dedicated to the strong African American man who purchased the land to extend education to the blacks of rural Worcester County in the late nineteenth century. The museum site offers both an actual house that held a 10-person family and a one-room schoolhouse moved there from a near by town.

The Sturgis One Room Schoolhouse is one of the places that goes well with the surrounding town, like a fine cheese goes with a good wine. This particular cheese is best paired with the Mar-Va Theater, or even as a prerequisite to the Discovery Center. Or perhaps even after a bite to eat at Pocomoke's re-opened cozy little Blackwater Café. (If you go, definitely ask for a oatmeal cookies... or three.)

A lovely historical day can easily be made here in this small town called Pocomoke City.
