Pemberton Park

A stroll through the grounds of Salisbury's Pemberton Park is like a trip back to the eighteenth century. Marked by a period plantation home and heritage, the 262-acre park boasts 4.5 miles of self-guided natural trails, hardwood forests, meadows, wetlands and fresh water ponds.

Pemberton Hall was built by Isaac Handy and his wife Ann (Dashiell) in 1741 and was one of the first established in Wicomico County. Recently restored by its present owner, the Pemberton Hall Foundation, the building maintains its original design.

Visitors have the opportunity to explore the culture and heritage of Wicomico County through a variety of regularly scheduled programs including tours, camps and special events.

Informational brochures are available in the recently renovated contact building located near the parking lot. For more information on tours and programs offered, visit www.pembertonpark.org.

Those interested in helping to preserve the county landmark are invited to join the Friend's of Pemberton organization.
