VirtualTourist.com: tips and reviews from real travelers who have visited Maryland
Maryland
Maryland has been rightly called a microcosm of American history, with important sites representing everything from early settlements and the Revolution to the Space Age, all of which make the tiny state highly popular with tourists. At St. Mary's City one of the earliest settlements has been excavated and reconstructed, Baltimore and Annapolis have outstanding colonial and Federalist-era homes, tidal rivers are lined with gracious plantations, a major Civil War battlefield and scene of the Harpers Ferry raid are close by, the Industrial Revolution played out in Baltimore and the C&O Canal helped push the westward expansion. The Pawtuxet Naval Air Station and other bases bring air and naval history into the 21st century. The Chesapeake Bay cuts the state in half, making it both a playground for salt-water enthusiasts and a major mecca for seafood lovers. From its long sandy Atlantic beaches to the fall foliage and sports opportunities of the western mountains, Maryland offers something for everyone.
