History is always better when there's a chance to let it interact with all five of your senses. We just visited two of Salisbury's most notable historic homes Pemberton Hall (circa 1741) and the Poplar Hill Mansion (circa 1795). Both homes have had extensive restoration and also have very friendly and knowledgable guides to give tours. Walk through history. Touch it. Hear it. See it. Smell it. And since you can't taste anything at these homes stop by Market Street Inn for a delicious meal.

TIP: Try the key lime pie!

Mardela Springs is an authentic small town. There's a bunch of unique things to do there. You can see an original Mason & Dixon marker and bone up on the local history at one of their historic museums or you can check out the nation's largest indoor coral farm. No joke! This little town has a lot to offer. And when you're done with your exploration, head over to the Sharptown Fireman's Carnival that runs through the entire month of August. You and your kin can ride any one of their antique carnival rides, play games, or even enter the raffle. And when you work up an appetite you have to try one of their oyster sandwiches. They're world famous!
