The Unmarked Path
Private storytelling walks through the history most people drive past.
Old roads. Forgotten graves. Working waterfronts. Vanished communities. Stories buried in plain sight.
I build private storytelling walks for small groups across Kent Island and the Eastern Shore. Each path is shaped around your group, your pace, and the kind of history you want to experience.
Want to go farther? The Unmarked Path can also become a private van tour through Kent Island, Talbot County, Queen Anne’s County, or nearly anywhere on the Eastern Shore.
Wine is included. BYOB is welcome.
Not a ghost tour.
Not a lecture.
Not the brochure version.
This is history told where it happened.

Built around your group.
Every path is different.
Your private experience may be a walk through Kent Narrows, Stevensville, an old cemetery, a working waterfront, or another piece of ground with a story still under it.
For groups who want to go farther, The Unmarked Path can also become a private van tour across Kent Island, Talbot County, Queen Anne’s County, or other parts of the Eastern Shore.
Walk it.
Ride it.
Drink it in.
Either way, the route is built for your group.
Wine included. BYOB welcome.
Like my Sippin’ In A Cemetery gatherings, each Unmarked Path experience includes pours of my private-label J. Coursey Willis wine. It's made in partnership with Chesapeake Manor Vineyard on Kent Island.
You’re also welcome to bring your own.
Because this isn’t meant to feel like a classroom.
It should feel like a walk into something older.
Possible paths.
Kent Narrows
Oyster houses, ferry crossings, watermen, shantytowns, war, seafood, survival, and the waterfront most people only think they know.
Kent Island
Old roads, burial grounds, ferry landings, lost farms, and the island beneath the asphalt.
Talbot County and the Eastern Shore
A private van experience through old towns, cemeteries, churches, waterfronts, and backroads where the deeper stories still live.
Custom Private Experience
Built around your group, your guests, your interests, and the kind of history you want to experience.

The best stories are rarely marked.
They’re behind restaurants.
Under parking lots.
Beside the water.
Covered by grass.
Waiting where most people never stop.
If you want the polished version, there are brochures. Sometimes.
If you want the real one, I’ll show you where to stand.
