Pearl registered in honor of Hugh B. Horning Cambridge, Dorchester County.
The Horning Property is 17.26 acres on Hill’s Point Cove and is entirely in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. The property is approximately 4 acres of home site, 13 acres tillable land, a small pond and a 1-2 acre grass airstrip. The property has approximately 400 feet of shoreline along Hill’s Point Cove and about 400 feet of road frontage on Hill’s Point Road. The landowner donated an easement on the property in 1991. The 1877 atlas of Dorchester County indicates two structures in the immediate proximity to the Horning Property. These structures and the location of the property indicate that the parcel has a good potential for contain- ing both prehistoric and historic archeological resources that have not yet been identified. The residents have also found on the property a button from a colonial military uniform. An avid aviator Hugh keeps a Cessna airplane in his shed/hanger for quick get aways.
