About

The time period of this tour starts in 1884 when Exmore Station opened for railway commerce. During the railroad days, Exmore became an important distribution and transportation hub due to its central location and proximity to produce and seafood producers. As you walk this tour, you will gain insight into how the construction of the railroad changed the face of America’s landscape. Small towns sprang up along railroads, just as seaports did with seaway commerce in previous eras. Most of these railroad towns were laid out by land developers that bought up farmland to sell to produce brokers, merchants, and future residents.
