Queen Anne's County, located on the Easter Shore, was named for Queen Anne (1665-1714), who ruled Great Britain and Ireland from 1702 to 1714. This county includes the Bay Bridge and Kent Island, known as the gateway to the Eastern Shore. Today the county remains mostly farmland with few small towns and commercial centers. The Queen Anne's Museum of Eastern Shore Life has many artifact, household furnishings, farming and watermen's equipment from the past to the present. The Tuckahoe State Park, with 500 acres of parkland, offers scenic biking, hiking and canoeing on the lake and creek.
