The range here is striking, with shelves that reward both wandering and intentional browsing. I was especially impressed by the African American history and literature section, which felt thoughtfully curated rather than perfunctory. Beyond the books, the prints are truly stunning. There's a particularly rich selection for anyone drawn to Eastern Shore imagery, from lithographs to historic maps that feel both scholarly and artful. It's the kind of place where time slows, your hands fill with discoveries, and you leave already planning a return visit.

This has to be one of the weirdest stores I've ever seen, but for a suitable souvenir of our…read moreSouthern Maryland trip, it sure fit the bill. There are three signs out front: "Harmon House Shoppes"; "Grandmother's Store"; and "Inner Equinox". I don't know what you might gather from three signs, but as I walked up the steps of the old house in which this shop is located I figured Harmon House Shoppes was a collective, and that Grandmother's Store and Inner Equinox were both inside. I was right, but these shops aren't separate. All the merch is together. This means that the chowder mugs, "Feeling Crabby" travel cups, crystal fan pulls, salt water taffy, and plush monkeys captured by "Grandmother's Store" are shelved right alongside the jasmine massage oils, meditation CDs, tarot cards, evil eye bracelets, and incense sticks captured by "Inner Equinox". This also means I was able to pick up a cheesy Chesapeake Bay snowglobe and delicate blown glass Christmas ornament because I like to collect both on trips, and husband was able to pick up a white sage smudge stick because he likes to burn things.

I almost passed by this little place! Thank goodness for the word "crystals" on the sign, made me…read moreturn right back around to check it out. There's a little bit of everything inside. Think of it as a new age metaphysical shop crossed with a quaint gift shop and you've got the Harmon House. The woman at the front desk, I did not get her name, is so sweet! She let us know about all of the classes and services they offer in addition to all of their neat gifts. Some of the things she mentioned were massages, reiki, and readings. I left with a gorgeous abalone shell ($11.99, such a steal!), a handmade magnet to remember my trip, and a few tumble stones. I couldn't be happier!

A charming shop with a sense of quiet opulence. This is not a small town bookstore in spirit or…read moredesign. The space is beautifully conceived, inviting you to wander slowly and take in every aisle. I genuinely enjoyed the act of browsing here, which feels like a small luxury in itself. The only snag was an assumption on my part. Given the setting, I expected a more robust local history presence or at least a thoughtfully curated selection highlighting the region. Works on Underground Railroad and abolitionist networks, tourism history, or even local ecology felt notably absent. The offerings on Tubman and Douglass were surprisingly thin. Still, the store's elegance and breadth are undeniable, even if its sense of place could be more fully realized.

I would have happily recommended this bookstore, but my experience last week changed my opinion…read more After purchasing several items, I asked if they could be gift wrapped. The cashier immediately replied, "No." When I asked why, she responded, "Because we're closed." While I understand that it was approximately two minutes past closing time, I was already in the store completing my purchase. A small gesture of customer service would have made a lasting positive impression. Instead, I left feeling that my business was an inconvenience rather than appreciated. Independent bookstores thrive because of the relationships they build with their customers, and I expected a level of courtesy that matched that reputation. I hope the store considers empowering its staff to show a little more flexibility and kindness in situations like this. Great customer service is often remembered long after the purchase itself.

This past weekend, I wanted to order flowers for a small church down on Hoopers Island. Because florists are not open on Sunday, and the church is not open all the time, we had to work out a plan. When I called to order, they were very pleasant and helpful. I selected a spring flower basket and made arrangements with a friend to pick it up on Saturday on her way through Cambridge. Everything went smoothly and the basket was perfect. This business provides personalized service.

You pay for a band and the cost for all the tasting of the wines was just $25.00 which is actually not a bad price. They had numerous wine vendors i want to say about 12 or more. They also had tables with tents set up everywhere pretty impressive because we always bring our chairs because we don't know what the seating situation would be. It's not like your typical wine festival where they have more wine vendors but then they have longer lines. The lines here was not bad at all. They had bands performing which I must say was great! They only had about 3 food vendors which I wish they had offered a little more but the one we selected food from was tasty. I had the jerk catfish with 1 side order of plantains. Which was $11.00 not to bad of a price. It was very tasty with a kick! My fiancée had the pulled pork sandwich with a side order of cabbage. The pulled pork was delicious but he said the cabbage was watered down with no flavor. I kind of figured that it would be. Everyone there was very friendly and from what I understand they have a free movie on the beach on Saturday night. Way to go if your a local. I would definitely recommend this location for the wine tasting and we purchased about 4 bottles of wine to go. This is how we do it...
