The Historic Sites Consortium of Queen Anne’s County invites residents and visitors to explore Kent Island’s rich history through the return of First Saturdays, a free historic tour program running April through November from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The 2026 season begins on Saturday, April 4, offering a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience several of Kent Island’s most significant historic landmarks. Each site will be open to the public with volunteers and interpreters available to share stories about the island’s past.

Visitors can enjoy free tours of the following historic locations:

Historic Christ Church (1880)
With origins dating back to the 1630s at Kent Fort and Broad Creek, Historic Christ Church is one of the most carefully preserved Victorian churches in Maryland.
121 E. Main Street, Stevensville
Contact: 410-758-2502

The Cray House (c. 1809)
The oldest house in Stevensville and one of the few surviving post-and-plank buildings in Maryland. The original section reflects the simple two-room homes common during colonial times.
106 Cockey Lane, Stevensville

Stevensville Train Station (1902)
Originally located in upper Stevensville along the tracks leading to Love Point, the depot served as a busy transportation hub until the Chesapeake Bay Bridge opened in 1952. The station was relocated to Historic Stevensville in 1988, and a 1920s-era caboose was later added to the site.
0 Cockey Lane, Stevensville

Stevensville Bank Building (1909)
The oldest bank building on Kent Island, this structure served as Stevensville’s financial center for more than 50 years. Visitors can still see original features including a pressed-tin ceiling, wood teller counter, and iron vault that reflect early 20th-century banking.
409 Love Point Road, Stevensville

Old Stevensville Post Office (c. 1877)
For generations, this building provided mail services while also serving as a central gathering place where local residents shared news and community updates.
408 Love Point Road, Stevensville

James E. Kirwan House and Store (1889)
This carefully preserved property belonged to State Senator James E. Kirwan, who led the successful effort during World War I to prevent Kent Island from becoming a military weapons testing proving ground.
641 Dominion Road (Route 552), Chester

First Saturdays, highlight the area’s deep colonial, and community heritage while providing residents and visitors with a free and engaging way to learn about the island’s historic landmarks.
