Our Story
History of Queen Anne Colony
Queen Anne Colony is nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and Price Creek. The land has been in use for over 300 years. The developers had a vision of a very special community and took advantage of this land’s many natural features. The community was developed in 1961 by several businessmen from Montgomery County and the D.C. area. They ventured to this farm known as “Airy Acres”, as friends and avid sportsmen. The original manor house on Columbia Lane, was once flanked by a barn with horses. Families could ride freely to the beach on the bay front where the beach was wide. The Price family cemetery on Big Holly Court is a testament to our past.
Queen Anne Colony Amenities
Caroline Park, on Columbia Lane, has a pavilion, playground, picnic tables, basketball court and an open field for all residents to enjoy. Small parties may be held in the playground area, however, we do not take reservations and we do not close the park for private parties. Association events are often held here, a great place to meet your neighbors.
Chesapeake Bay Overlook, located at the intersection of Kenwood and Queen Anne Club Drive, is a great place to watch beautiful sunsets. On Independence Day fireworks can be seen from all across the Western Shore. The memorial brick path was donated by residents and built by community volunteers.
Kayak Launch, on Big Holly Court, next to Price’s Cemetery, provides easy access to the creek and the bay for kayaks and canoes.
