What it’s like
The place. Queen Anne is a very small town on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in Queen Anne's County, with far fewer residents than most towns. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for much of the country, and household incomes across the county are high. Winters are cold and somewhat snowy, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Queen Anne's County, the largest workplaces include Queen Anne's County Public Schools, Paul Reed Smith Guitars, and Food Lion. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and most people travel a fair distance to work, with very few working from home.
Things to do. Adkins Arboretum, a botanical garden, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Tuckahoe State Park and Martinak State Park, both protected areas, and Wye Mill, a museum. The Chester River is a longer drive away for time on the water.
