Frederick Douglass Park on the Tuckahoe
The new park, totaling 107.16 acres – named Frederick Douglass Park on the Tuckahoe — is located just upstream from the farm where Douglass was born in 1818. The wetlands were named the George C. and Naomi H. Moore Nature Preserve to honor the donation made by the Moore family, lifelong Eastern Shore residents.
The park is under development, but visitors can currently enjoy a butterfly garden, waterviews and an interpretive sign.

Will DelanyA wonderful and peaceful place to sit by the Tuckahoe. Some nice historical information as well. As others have said, it is a start in terms of recognizing Mr. Douglas and the place this area holds in his history. For me, I stop here often when passing through the area on 404, it is not far off the highway, and just sit and take in the sounds and smells of the Tuckahoe and collect my thoughts.

Yolanda AcreeBeautiful and serene little spot. I was expecting something bigger/different and hope the county decides to add more.

Dave PalmerNice new Open Space in Talbot County. Trails are mowed grass and there is a good variety of birds.
