A Centreville Stretch by Tracey F. Johns
Centreville, Maryland, is a quiet town on the Eastern Shore, with few tourist attractions and ‘things to do,’ or so it seems. The Queen Anne’s County seat is located on the Corsica River. Its quiet, rural nature and lack of ‘touristy’ things are exactly what makes this 1794-incorporated town a great place to pause and take a stretch as a destination or along your travels. Over the COVID pandemic, I’ve ventured to Centreville from Easton twice: once to meet friends for an alfresco lunch and, most recently, for a solo walk in the historic district and along Corsica
River’s Millstream trail. The drive seemed to take no longer than a drive across town and, after taking it all in, I’m certain I will be back for another stretch with my dogs soon. Centreville is true to its name regarding location, with a hub of crossroads that lead up, down and over the entire Delmarva peninsula. Designated as part of the Chesapeake Country National Scenic Byway, it’s a perfect place to meet cross-county friends to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the locally owned restaurants, or for a tasting at the local brewery or distillery.
