Poplar Hill Mansion is Salisbury’s oldest home, having survived two great fires that wiped out most of the buildings in nearby Salisbury. The lot on which Poplar Hill sits was bought in 1795 by Major Levin Handy; the land was carved out of the lot known as “Pemberton’s Good Will” and was located at the edge of Salisbury in what was then Worcester County. The lot was 357 acres and Handy began to build a two story frame dwelling on an elevated brick foundation, but he died before the house was completed. In 1805 the lot and house were bought by Dr. John Huston for 1,000 pounds. The Huston family greatly influenced the area surrounding the mansion. Isabella, Elizabeth and William streets were named after the children of Dr. Huston. He also tried to start the first hospital in Salisbury but was unable to raise enough money. Dr. Huston owned the property from 1805 until his death in 1827. After his death his wife Sarah owned the house until the mid-nineteenth century. In 1867 Wicomico County was created, carved from portions of Worcester and Somerset Counties. Over the years, portions of the original Handy / Huston property were sold, houses were built and the thriving residential area became known as “Newtown”. George Waller and his family next owned the mansion from 1882 until 1945. Later, Fred P. Adkins bought the house and attempted to turn it into a masonic lodge. When this did not work out, he sold the property to Ward and Dorothy Garber, who ran an antique shop downstairs and lived upstairs. They sold the mansion to Wicomico County in 1970, and since 1974 the mansion has been owned by the City of Salisbury. Poplar Hill Mansion is a four and a half story building which was built in the Federal style. This style of architecture is purely American, and emerged immediately after the American Revolution. The house is inspired by Greek and Roman architecture with the archway in the main hall and Palladian windows. Poplar Hill is symmetrical on the outside and on the inside.

The main hall is in the middle, with two rooms on either side, and in each room there is a fireplace and two doors on either side of it. There is a full basement, and the half story is found in the attic, where there is a loft. The loft was most likely where the seventeen slaves of the Huston family lived and slept. There were many outbuildings formerly at the mansion, such as an outdoor kitchen and stables, which no longer exist. The smokehouse, dating to the 1850s is the only original outbuilding to the mansion that still remains.

The mansion is open to free tours on the first and third Sundays of the month, and also by appointment. Private events such as weddings, birthday parties and family reunions are held at the mansion along with public events such as teas and historical celebrations. The Friends of Poplar Hill Mansion are responsible for the restoration projects that have taken place at the mansion. Recently, the first floor was restored to the original paint colors and there are also plans to restore the smokehouse and a pianoforte that is located in the main hall.

Capture a rare glimpse into the lives of Haitian migrant farm workers through the compelling photographs and field notes of documentary photographer Phil Decker, who worked in the mid-1980s as an outreach worker for migrant farm workers in Salisbury. This exhibit and archive provides the Nabb Center with a significant historical document on the origin of the Eastern Shore’s Haitian community, many of whom fled political and economic upheaval in Haiti in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Coming to the U.S., they picked vegetables in the fields of the Eastern Shore. Decker’s photos depict a farm worker crew’s life in Florida, on the road, in the fields, in the labor camp, and in town.

Support With Your Fork
By Molly Hilligoss, Editor in Chief
There those that impress and those that inspire. The gift of inspiring others creates the potential to change and make a difference. A few years ago, I met Chef Patrick Fanning while he was the Executive Chef at SoBo’s. His passion for buying local organic produce and meats for his restaurant inspired me - a Chef that truly supports with his fork! Just last month, while visiting Chesapeake Bay Farms, the only dairy in Worcester County, owners Laura & Danny Holland happened to mention Chef Fanning as a loyal buyer of their fresh cream, milks and cheeses. Chef Fanning is a true Locavore! When he opened The High Spot Gastropub in 2011 in Cambridge, I knew he would be a success. Around the same time, Keith Graffius opened Crabi Gras, a store the largest selection of hot sauces and the coolest ‘Eastern Shore themed’ T-shirts around! These two men became fast friends. Their combined commitment to the community, businesses and local growers/waterman created a buzz in the downtown area. Chef Fanning’s passion for food and the development of Cambridge’s Art’s and Entertainment District continues as his 2nd restaurant ‘Stoked’ opens this March. A big thank you to Patrick & Keith for writing the piece GOIN’ LOCO for LOCAVORES on the importance of buying from local businesses.

First of all, I must say that I consider it an honor to be able to share my views and opinions with readers about fitness, health and smart lifestyle decisions. If you are reading this article, odds are you are already a fitness guru looking for new perspectives or support and reaffirmations about your daily choices, or you have acknowledged that it’s that time in your life where you need to take control of your health and you need a firm “kick in the gluts”. Either way I hope you find my writings beneficial and encouraging. I’ve decided not to begin with a long dissertation about what foods are healthy, ways to boost your metabolism and new exercise trends. Bottom line is “get up and get moving”. It’s as simple as that friends. Now, everyone’s “get moving” will be determined by their physical abilities and current activity level. Work to get your heart rate up, don’t be afraid to break a sweat and just push yourself to stay active and make it fun. Find a sport, exercise or activity that keeps you entertained and stick with it. Build your week around that activity and make it a routine. I realize this sounds very cliché so I have taken some time to
find resources and organized groups to help keep you get motivated and moving, and increase your fitness. Okay, I’ll touch on diet briefly understanding that if I submitted an article about health and fitness without encouraging healthy eating habits I am sure to be struck by lightning. My advice is to enjoy what you eat. That is not a free pass to raid the counter at Golden Coral, however you can enjoy the things you like in moderation. Try new foods and flavors and educate your pallet to what you like. Also round out your diet to make sure you are replenishing your body of the necessary nutrients. Be careful not to add items like butter, salt and sweeteners just because you think every baked potato must have cheese and sour cream. Who knows, you may actually enjoy the taste of fresh fruits and vegetables without the unnecessary evils. Visit www.choosemyplate.gov for healthy eating tips recommended by the USDA. Log your caloric intake and compare it to your daily burn. This takes a little work but trust me, if you are ready to make this “lifestyle commitment” this can be a key tool to getting started. Talk to your physician or simply research your recommended daily calorie intake for your age, gender and body type. Then start taking inventory of what you eat and drink throughout the day and don’t forget… include your daily (con’t on page 56)
activity! Measure your caloric burn with a simple wrist monitor which you can find online or at your local sporting goods store. Now, let’s get active! Here are just a few ways to kick-start your “fitness” today. Remember think of activities you enjoy like walking, jogging, cycling or even team sports. Join a group of friends with similar interests. Then carve out dedicated times throughout the week and commit yourself to at least 20 solid minutes of physical activity 3 times per week (minimum!). Most importantly, have fun and I’ll see you at the finish line! Group Exercise Options: Having a buddy or exercising with a group is a great way to stay on track to achieve your health goals. Every Saturday morning at the Salisbury Park, near Ben’s Red Swings you can find a few drop in-group exercise classes for various abilities and fitness levels. There is a small drop in fee but no contracts or commitments. If you enjoy cycling, running and swimming or if you’re looking for a new challenge, join this dedicated group of athletes as they prepare for triathlon events throughout the year. Anyone can join and you don’t have to be a seasoned triathlete. These guys will work with you to get you across the finish line. (con’t on page 58)
Below are a couple of other options: • Midshore Y-Tri: A program provided by the MidShore YMCA in Salisbury, MD that provides coaching, training programs, and facility use for beginning triathletes. For information on signing up, go to the Mid-Shore YMCA website or stop by and ask about it at the front desk www. midshoreytri.com • Ocean City Running Club: The club meets every Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for group runs. www. oceancityrunningclub.com Trail walking/jogging: If you’ve got a hectic schedule or you’re just not quite ready to commit to an exercise group then just invest in a good pair of jogging shoes and find a safe trail around your community or even at the park. Set a goal to walk or jog a certain distance or time three days a week. Change your trail up for new scenery and keep a log of your progress. Keeping track of your activity and your eating habits is easy with today’s smart phone apps. I use “Gymboss” and “Nike+ipod” however there are hundreds of free and very inexpensive applications that make working out fun and adventurous. And it’s right in the palm of your hand!

If you have any recommendations or questions, please feel free to write me at yfit74@yahoo.com. I hope you’ve found some motivation to get up, get out there and take control of your health. As a trainer and fitness instructor “I aspire to inspire” those of you reading this article and those who I meet every day!
