My wife and I were driving around the classic Chesapeake Bay towns of Oxford and St Michaels during a couple of sunny summer days, midweeek in late July 2018, when in Oxford we came upon the ferry landing. We saw the historical marker saying this is believed to be America's oldest continually running ferry. We also noted the low prices: $12 for a car, one-way. We noticed that only 3 or 4 cars were waiting to use the ferry (the ferry holds a total of 9 vehicles). We realized that by taking this ferry to Bellevue, we would be heading back toward the town of St. Michaels, which we planned to go to next, so off we went on the ferry. It's not an old, historic boat, but it is certainly cute and cozy. We loved our short boat ride, going straight across a wide river to Bellevue. Often, impromtu travel experiences are the best. This was terrific. Highly recommended.
