Home of Pocomoke City's First Mayor, Doctor Isaac Costen, The Costen House and the Hall-Walton Garden are managed under the auspices of the Spirit of Newtown Committee, Inc. whose mission is the preservation of these properties in order to exhibit the life of a small town and Doctor I. T. Costen and his family as they lived from 1870-1920.
Costen House was built by Dr. Costen shortly after the Civil War and was lived in by members of his family for over a century. It is sponsored by the Spirit of Newtown Committee, founded in 1974, Myrtle A. Polk and a group of public-spirited citizens, when the home was threatened by demolition.
