Postcards of Yesteryear | Wicomico County, Maryland

Images of downtown Salisbury as well as a few landmarks from nearby. I was delighted to find myself in the area of the beautiful church recently and stopped to photograph it; the memorial has been a project undergoing restore for some time. See more links at the end of this post .

Originally erected in 1950 as a war memorial, the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center is operated by Wicomico County, Maryland. Unfortunately, a fire ravaged the building in 1977, but it was opened again in 1980 after being rebuilt.
