Kent County, Maryland was previously honored by Progressive Farmer by being selected as #1 in Best Rural Places to Live in America. The county of 20,000 residents was chosen in part because of its commitment to preserving the county's rural roots, despite being about 90-minutes from Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Currently for sale and pictured below is Historic Brampton Inn, c. 1860, one of the most impressive of the Antebellum dwellings in Kent County. A "Select Registry" property, Brampton is currently offered for sale.
