Dorchester County Visitor Center — Attraction in Cambridge

I had a disappointing visit on Friday. I stop her anytime I go through Cambridge on Route 50. I had not been here in several years and was taken aback by the changes. It had a neglected 'feel' to it. The rest rooms were locked. One had to get a key from another building to use them (this was not the case in the past) and they were plastered with well worn stickers about reporting human trafficking.

The vistas are outstanding and you can also watch a movie about all the things that Dorchester County has to offer while visiting.
