(1798 - 1865)
This monument, erected by the state in 1868, honors Thomas Holliday Hicks, a native and life resident of Dorchester County. Late in 1860, and early 1861 as Maryland's first Civil War governor, he opposed the doctrines of secession and coercion. In furtherance of his policy and resisting great pressure, he refused for five months to call the legislature in special session. During the war he supported the Union.| HM Number | HM24V1 |
