Completed in June 2017, the Wharves of Choptank Visitor and Heritage Center has been 15 year’s in the making.
The visitor center was renamed the Wharves of Choptank J.O.K. Walsh Visitor & Heritage Center on June 6, 2025 in honor of local resident and historian J.O.K. Walsh, who passed away in 2023. He was instrumental in the creation and completion of the visitor center.
The visitor center, located in Crouse Park, welcomes travelers to Caroline County and should be your first stop to discovering what Caroline County has to offer. It offers a great place for travelers to stop, stretch their legs, find information on Caroline County and its towns, and take in the views of the Choptank River.
We offer free parking, bus parking, meeting and event space, electric vehicle(EV) charging, and clean restroom facilities. This facility is wheelchair accessible. Boat ramp and nature trail also available.
