Abandoned Delmarva: The Forgotten Places of the Delmarva Peninsula travels to all corners of the Delmarva, touring the forgotten places of the past that hide behind our modern world--from large towns to small ones, places modern and bustling, to places that seem frozen in time. Abandoned structures are all around us. It is possible you've driven past the locations in this book without a second glance. Perhaps this book will inspire you to think twice next time you pass an overgrown driveway or boarded-up building. In these pages, you will see the schools that molded the town's minds and hospitals that once cared for the masses, along with businesses, entertainment, industry, and all the likes in between. All were lost in history, but are now found on the Delmarva Peninsula.
