Easton, Maryland, USA

Easton's small historic district is just right for tourists, easy to access by car, and you can walk to everything after you park. Easton is also near St. Michaels and other QuaintPlaces, making it part of a great day or weekend getaway.

The Waterfowl Festival in November is a particularly large event that draws duck hunters and fisherman as well as people who like art, crafts, and antiques. This festival is a must if you like carved duck decoys. If you can't afford the $12.00 admission to the indoor shows, you can still enjoy many booths and shops for free.

Why shop online?

Prices and selection are often better from these Web sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many of them offer free packing and shipping to
your door or to your gift recipient. So, you can save time, gas, and
money. Merchant sites must meet high security standards to advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did you know?

When you place an order from these merchants, they contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These commissions do not increase
the cost of your purchases. Only purchases made within a few days
after your initial "click" to their sites generate commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)

These commissions, plus sales of our own photos and cards, are
necessary to help defray the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently operates at a loss.

Your purchases will help us provide more information and photos about
quaint places.
