Of course the snow that everyone made such a big deal out of on sunday morning turned out to be next to nothing at all. However, MDP was determined to make a big deal of it by heading to ….. Snow Hill. There was little snow left on the ground there, but the overcast sky accented whatever was left.
Show Hill was once a booming town due to its riverside location and its proximity to the Atlantic. The Pocomoke river still continues to wind though town, though there’s little commerce left on the river.
Snow Hill is the seat of Worcester County, and so this building serves as the county courthouse. It was built after a fire destroyed the previous courthouse and jail, which were built after a fire destroyed the original courthouse and jail. This brick building has withstood the ages, though the woodwork is certainly starting to show its age.

The old Carroll County Courthouse is very nice. If you’re nice to the guards they’ll give you a tour.
The law librarian is not as nice.
