It's #ThrowbackThursday and today we're checking out the short lived trolley line between Chesapeake Beach and North Beach back around 1915. Can you identify where this photo was taken? @VisitMaryland.

February 22 is National Walking the Dog Day. This day combines two of the most happy-making things we have in this life: dogs and exercise. Humans love walking with their four-legged friends and pooches love their strolls with their people. So grab your walking shoes, a leash and some treats for the road, and take your favorite pooch for a stroll in Calvert County! @VisitMaryland. . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogs #puppy #dogstagram #instadog #doglover #doglife #doglovers #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #doggo #puppies #dogsofinsta #petsofinstagram #doglove

Did you know the Old Wallville School building was utilized as a school for African American students from the late 1800s to 1934? The younger students would have been seated three to a desk, while older students would sit two to a desk. On overflow days, wood logs served as extra desks on students' laps as they sat in the middle aisle of the classroom. The school would sometimes service over forty students from first to seventh grade. After the school was closed, the building sat empty in disrepair until portions of the building were salvaged and brought to the grounds of Calvert Elementary School in 2006. The school was restored as a monument to the value African Americans placed on educating their children in the face of numerous challenges. The school now serves as a center for learning for students and the community. @VisitMaryland. . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDinFocus #blackhistorymonth #historyisimportant #history #oldwallvilleschool #oneroomschoolhouse #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #blackhistory #blackhistoryfacts 
Calvert County is a great place for birdwatching, even in the winter! Look for Great Blue Herons in saltwater and freshwater habitats, from open coasts, marshes, sloughs, riverbanks and lakes to backyard goldfish ponds. They also forage in grasslands and agricultural fields. @VisitMaryland. . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #birds #birdwatching #bird #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #wildlife #naturephotography #birding #wildlifephotography #birdlovers #naturelovers #birdlife #bestbirdshots #birdstagram

February is Black History Month. Interpreted sites of African-American interest on Jefferson Patterson Park’s public trails include the site of enslaved quarters at the 18th-century Smith St. Leonard site and the Sukeek’s Cabin site, a postbellum tenant farm house excavated in the early 2000s. The park’s collections also include objects, oral histories, photographs and archaeological artifacts associated with local African American history; these collections are available for access by appointment. @VisitMaryland.
