Visiting Perryville, MD

Most of the conversations I’ve had for this podcast have been with representatives from counties, states or major cities. But I think it’s time we swing through a small town near my home. I live in Baltimore Maryland. I always say Baltimore is a major city but it kind of feels like a small town since it’s sandwiched between Philadelphia and Washington DC. We are part of an area called the 95 Corridor since the highway Interstate 95 runs right through the center of the major cities on the east coast.

There are a lot of great small towns scattered along that route in between the major cities. If you’re driving from Baltimore north to Philly, you could easily stop off in Perryville, MD. Perryville is a town just south of Delaware. It has a couple of big destinations: The Hollywood Casino and Great Wolf Lodge. I think most people know Perryville because of those spots. But Perryville has a lot to offer besides that. There’s lots of nature, some great food and a lot of Maryland history to check out.

Joining me for this week’s episode of Delightful Destinations is Ashley Hennessey. She’s the community development coordinator for the town of Perryville. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
