The Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Kent Island is Maryland’s great threshold between the Western Shore and the Eastern Shore. Officially the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge, the dual-span US 50/301 crossing links Sandy Point near Annapolis with Stevensville on Kent Island and reshaped travel, tourism, commuting, and local life across the Chesapeake.

Person

Terry Crannell

A Man of the Shore

For more than half a century, Terry Crannell has helped people on Maryland’s Eastern Shore see Native history not as something distant, but as something still present in the land beneath their feet. His life also reaches into other Shore worlds — autobody work, billiards, family, field knowledge, and local memory.
