121 Water Street, Gov. Thomas Holiday Hicks House


The house features original locks and latches, high fireplace mantles and it originally had beaded siding and a porch. Thomas Holiday Hicks moved here upon his marriage to the widow of the house. She had inherited it from her first husband, who had built it with the inheritance from his first wife. Hicks, as a Cambridge resident, became Maryland’s Civil War Governor and is credited with keeping Maryland from seceding from the union although there was much local sympathy for the South.
