Once known as “Broad Creek,” the historic town of Stevensville is now a charming village that blends and finely balances both commercial and residential communities. As one of the primary communities on the rapidly growing Kent Island, Stevensville is committed to preserving its rich historical legacy. The Kent Island Heritage Society is particularly active in this quest, having carefully restored the gambrel roofed Cray House (circa 1839) and created a museum from the train station that was built in 1902 when the town became part of the Queen Anne’s Railroad Company. The Society is also responsible for the colorful and well-attended Kent Island Day celebration in May. Along Route 8, you’ll discover the natural beauty of the Terrapin Park and Nature trail with spectacular vistas of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to walking the one-mile trail, residents can stroll along the boardwalk or stop to view the Island’s abundant wildlife from observation blinds.
