Maryland

With so many things to do so close together in Maryland, you are sure to find something to please everyone. Often referred to as “America in Miniature” due to its unique topography, visitors can climb mountains in the morning and reach the Atlantic coast by twilight.

Are you a history buff? Maryland’s interesting geographical placement ensured that the state was a center of military activity during America’s Civil War. Maryland features four drivable Civil War Trails that allow visitors to follow in the footsteps of soldiers from this historical era.

Maryland also boasts the nation’s first federally funded highway. The Historic National Road paved the way for westward expansion. Today, travelers can trace the progression of transportation history by following this route and stop for some fabulous antique shopping along the way.

For those who like to explore the road less traveled, follow the Black-Eyed Susan signs on Maryland’s 19 scenic byways. Old Main Streets, Beach to Bay Indian Trail and Atlantic Appalachians are but a few of the themed trails found in our scenic byways map and guidebook.

Looking for a holiday destination that has it all? Save time and money with a visit to just one state. Everything in Maryland is within an easy driving distance from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
