Welcome to Vienna, Maryland

In 1608, when English Captain John Smith sailed up the Nanticoke River in a small, open boat, he met and traded with the native people near here. Today Vienna is a stop on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail.

Founded in 1706, the town boasts a heritage museum, historic homes, the Nanticoke Riverwalk and more. We welcome visitors by land and water. See the map to find your way to the visitor services.
