St. Michael, MD

October 24, 2020.  St. Michael, MD is the town known as the one who fooled the British.  During the Revolution, the town had 6 or more ship building facilities which attracted the British troops. As the British approached the locals darkened the town and hung lanterns in the trees above the town.  This caused the British to overshoot their cannon above the town.  Today this is a quaint and popular destination with great food and shops.  They display the British and American Flags around town.  The original homes and buildings are in good condition and you can absorb lots of history here.  We spent the afternoon at their maritime museum.
