__Chesapeake Beach, Maryland__

Chesapeake Beach is located in Calvert County Maryland. The town was built because of the vision of railroad builder Otto Mears. He wanted to build a resort town with railroad service that went from Washington to Baltimore. His vision included beaches, casinos, hotels, a race track, and a 1600 foot boardwalk. During the early 1900’s it thrived as a resort destination. Because of the Great Depression and popularity of automobiles the train had its last departure on April 15, 1935. You are able to visit the Chesapeake Beach Railway museum and see the history of the resort town railway.
