The
printed MML Passport is no longer available. However, you may
download a copy from the MML website
here.
The
trail consists of 11 MML Districts (regions).
The MML Geocache Trail project will launch January 1, 2009 with 78
participating cities and towns. A trackable geo coin will be given
to the first 500 geocachers as an incentive for locating at least 2
municipal caches in each of the 11 districts. To be eligible for
the coin, geocachers must pick up a Passport at any of the
designated county visitor centers. Geocachers must use the stamp in
the cache on their Passports and write down the cache code word
listed in each cache. After at least two municipal caches in each
district are discovered, geocachers may return to one of the county
visitor centers and have their Passports validated to receive their
collectable coin.
For a complete list of participating visitor centers visit the MML
web site at http://www.mdmunicipal.org/mmlhome/index.cfm or MGS web

Living in Snow Hill, Maryland, is small town living at its best.
Nestled on the south banks of the Pocomoke River, Snow Hill is a
place where people know each other. From the people who call it
home, to the business owners and those in government, we have built
a community where life is gentle, fun, and prosperous. Home to a
quaint downtown retail area and a broad spectrum of recreational
activities, Snow Hill is the perfect place to spend a relaxing
weekend or a lifetime.
Whether you are interested in researching your genealogy in the
Worcester Room of the Worcester County Library, kayaking on an
undeveloped natural river, or studying the architecture of historic
homes and beautiful churches while taking the Historic Walking
Tour, Snow Hill has something for everyone. You will find
recreational opportunities in Byrd Park and Sturgis Park, artifacts
at the Julia A. Purnell Museum, and treasures in the shops and art
galleries.
The beautiful rural setting boasts rich farmland that has been
the mainstay of the economy of the county seat of Worcester County
for centuries. The rich heritage of this area is celebrated daily
at Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum and during the summer
festival every August with The Blessing of the Combines.
The town of Snow Hill welcomes you as you explore our small town
steeped in history and tradition but alive with charm and
activities.
The Mount Zion One Room School House was built in 1869 near
Whiton, Maryland, and used as a school until 1931. It stood empty
until Dr. Paul Cooper, Superintendent of Schools, had the building
moved to Snow Hill. It was opened to the public in 1964, and has
since demonstrated to students and visitors how their forebears
were taught in the days of the one room schools. Donations of 19th
century texts and furnishings make a visit to the school a leap
back in time. McGuffy readers, quill pens, inkwells, slates, and a
water bucket are in place just as if the students had been
dismissed yesterday.
