averaging temperatures in the upper 80s
Fahrenheit. Winters average temperature
is in the mid 30s, but during our coldest

Annual snowfall can range from more

mountains down to about 10 inches on
the lower Eastern Shore. Average annual
precipitation falls into the range of 40 to
45 inches, generally spread evenly
throughout the year.

Potomac event held in 2011, a collection
of Madagascar characters were hand-
carved from two million pounds of ice and
displayed in a 15,000-square-foot cold

Across our beautiful landscape, we remember American heroes like George
Washington, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and Francis Scott Key, who,
through their passion and pioneering spirit, helped to inspire a nation.
MARYLANDS ROOTS
While exploring the Chesapeake Bay in
1608, Capt. John Smith wrote, No place
is more convenient for pleasure, prot and
mans sustenance. English settlers landed at
St. Clements Island, which today is a state
park within a region perfectly suited to the
pleasures of boaters and bikers. Nearby
sits Historic St. Marys City, the site that
preceded Annapolis as Marylands capital
and has become a museum that delivers a
living-history immersion experience on
800 waterfront acres.
ON THE MOVE
Americas westward expansion depended
heavily on the Historic National Road,
Americas rst federally funded highway.
Locations along the road between Baltimore
and Grantsville (including Frederick,
Hagerstown, Cumberland and Frostburg)
also hail the birth of American railroading
and the C&O Canal. The 185-mile-long,
hiker- and biker-friendly C&O Canal
National Historical Park Marylands
most-visited national park promises
pleasant dining and lodging options
within quaint canal towns.
INDEPENDENCE DAYS
Follow George Washingtons footsteps from a
cabin in Cumberland that he occupied during
the French & Indian War to the State House in
Annapolis, where he resigned as commander
of the Continental Army. While in Annapolis,
tour a mansion built by William Paca, one
of four Marylanders to sign the Declaration
of Independence. To the south, a state park
with a marina, world-class bass shing and
camping was once the home of General
William Smallwood, a Revolutionary War
hero whose actions in battle were described
by Washington himself as more precious to
American liberty than any other in its history.
STAR POWER
Americas Second War of Independence,
the War of 1812 touched both shores of
the Chesapeake Bay, from Solomons and
St. Leonard to St. Michaels and Havre de
Grace. At Baltimores Fort McHenry, learn

Maryland attorney Francis Scott Key to
write the Star-Spangled Banner.

Boaters coming to Annapolis count on nding ne cuisine on shore, whether its local
seafood or international dishes. Waterfront locations also serve a variety of beer,
wine and microbrew. This actually isnt much diferent from the early 19th century,
when Marylands capital had already
established itself as a
meeting place and
melting pot. Among many sites with ties to the War of
1812 are the Maryland State House, St. Johns College (which
Francis Scott Key attended) and the U.S. Naval Academy.

VINTAGE DESTINATIONS
Tours, tastings and tantalizing scenery
are yours to enjoy amid 55 wineries and
vineyards. Among several wine trails that
criss-cross Maryland, one incorporates six
wineries in the Frederick area and another
visits seven peaceful Southern Maryland
properties around the Patuxent River. More
fun is uncorked at major wine events in
Annapolis, Columbia, Hollywood, Salisbury
and Timonium, not to mention the huge
Maryland Wine Festival each September in
Westminster.

SEAFOOD SERENADE
Whether taking part in a dinner cruise or
relaxing at a dockside restaurant, you have
found the perfect place to try Chesapeake
Bay fare such as crab cakes, oyster fritters,
fried clams and creamy seafood soups. For
a more personal touch, charter a boat and
sh for your own dinner. Striped bass, also
known as rocksh, is deliciously admired as
The Pearl of the Chesapeake.
TASTY TOURS
During a Charm City Food Tour, learn about
Baltimore culture and architecture while
visiting restaurants, shops and markets to
sample excellent local cuisine like Chaps Pit
Beef and Ostrowkis Sausage. Great dining
experiences are also available as part of
regularly scheduled Restaurant Weeks that
feature special prix xe menus. In addition
to Baltimore, other towns that have hosted
such occasions include Annapolis, Bethesda-
Chevy Chase, Ellicott City, Frederick,
Hagerstown, Ocean City and Silver Spring.

FROM THE FARM
Fresh, local ingredients make their way
into many seasonal entrees at Maryland
restaurants such as Frederick-based VOLT,
where the Executive Chef is cookbook
author and former Top Chef nalist Bryan
Voltaggio, and Baltimore-based Charleston,
featuring Executive Chef and TV personality
Cindy Wolf. The states orchards provide
the basis for fruit butters to spread on
homemade biscuits, while local farms grow
sweet corn, tomatoes and greens that accent
any main course. Family-run dairies are also
using their own milk to make delicious ice
cream, often available right on the farm. Then
again, french fries smothered in vinegar also
sound awfully good, especially when served
on the boardwalk in Ocean City!

A Star-Spangled Banner Journey
Slip back 200 years ago to the waning days of the War of 1812. Trace the path of British forces moving
up the Chesapeake Bay, tearing through towns like Bladensburg and Havre de Grace, and nally
bombarding Baltimore. It was here, as dawns early light revealed an American victory, that Maryland
lawyer Francis Scott Key was inspired to write The Star-Spangled Banner.
Bicentennial commemorations take place around Maryland well into 2015, with particular emphasis
on destinations around the Baltimore Harbor area. Many locations tied to the war are also part of the
Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, meaning that bay-based activities are easily accessible just beyond
each historic landmark. Look for references in this section to the STAR-SPANGLED BANNER NATIONAL

THE BACKGROUND
The United States declared war in June 1812 after Britain imposed
trade restrictions and began intercepting U.S. merchant ships. Already
engaged in conicts with France and Spain, the British at rst used
a defensive strategy against American forces, blockading the Atlantic coast and
thwarting U.S. invasions of Canada. In 1814, after Englands war with France concluded,
the British more aggressively pursued America by deploying three large armies, one of
which moved through Maryland to capture the nations capital, Washington, D.C. But a
urry of American triumphs in Baltimore, New York and New Orleans at last repulsed
all three British invasions, at the same time contributing to a sense of national pride
that accompanied the publishing of The Star-Spangled Banner. After more than two-
and-a-half years of ghting, the Treaty of Ghent was signed, ushering in an Era of
Good Feelings between the two nations.

1. Launch a driving tour from
the Southern Maryland shing
village of Solomons, famous for
ne seafood, peaceful sunsets
and the Calvert Marine Museum,
where a ber-optic map explains
the British invasion route up the
Patuxent River. Solomons is also
the recommended starting point
for the Star-Spangled Banner
National Historic Trail, a branch
of which curls south across the
Patuxent River to incorporate
sites such as Leonardtowns
Tudor Hall, a Colonial House
now occupied by the St. Marys
County Historical Society. In
July 1814, it was Tudor Halls
Elizabeth Key, a distant in-law
of Francis Scott Key, who
persuaded the Royal Marines
not to burn Leonardtowns
courthouse building by telling
them it was a house of worship.
Another stop is the Hollywood-
based Sotterley Plantation,
where the British drove of
300 militiamen and set re to
a tobacco warehouse. Invasion
forces also landed in Chaptico
and caused considerable
damage to Christ Episcopal
Church, which has a Key family
vault in the cemetery.
2. A month prior to activities in
Leonardtown, the largest naval

River, Havre de Grace was
attacked in May 1813 by a
force of 400 British troops. A
Centennial Memorial erected in
1914 pays tribute to local war

12. The former shipbuilding
center of St. Michaels, twice
attacked during the war, has
achieved legendary status: When
facing a twilight naval barrage
in August 1813, townspeople
were said to have hung lanterns
from the tops of houses and
trees so that British guns would
overshoot their targets. Its
more likely that the enemy was
distracted by American cannons
placed at strategic points around
the harbor, but St. Michaels
latched on to the nickname The
Town that Fooled the British.
Inside the St. Michaels Museum
at St. Marys Square, a model
shows the areas appearance
during the war. On the edge
of the square is the circa-1805
Cannonball House, so named
because it was struck during the
British attack. A small exhibit
related to the war is found
inside the Chesapeake Bay
Maritime Museum, popular for its
lighthouse and working boatyard.
One of the nal engagements
of the war, and the last in
Maryland, occurred about 40
miles south of St. Michaels on
Taylors Island. A monument
near the Slaughter Creek Bridge
speaks of the Battle of the Ice
Mound, Feb. 7, 1815. During this
skirmish, local militia captured
a British vessel after it became
stuck in ice.

Scenes of the Civil War
Two competing American forces battled on Southern soil for more than a year before finally tumbling
into Northern territory in 1862. General Robert E. Lee believed that a victory on Union land might
solidify foreign support for the Confederate cause. Maryland loomed as an attractive target: Not only
was it a border state with widespread secessionist sympathies, but it offered key transportation and
supply links along with access to Washington, D.C. In Western Maryland, Lees efforts came to a
head with the bloodiest single-day battle of the Civil War.
One hundred and fifty years later, driving tours throughout the state highlight hallowed battlefields,
war-related museums and a variety of historic sites involved in sesquicentennial events. One of the
final chapters of the Civil War period was also written here: In April 1815, the Southern Maryland
countryside was used as an escape route by a presidential assassin.
THE BACKGROUND
Frustrated by the federal governments stance on
issues such as states rights and the expansion of slavery,
11 Southern states seceded from the Union shortly after
the 1860 election of a nationalistic president, Abraham
Lincoln. Hostilities began in April 1861, with Southern Confederate
forces taking part in a bloodless attack on Fort Sumter, SC. The rst
bloodshed of the war occurred a week later when a mob of Southern
sympathizers set upon Union troops outside a Baltimore train station
four soldiers and a dozen civilians were killed. During the next four years,
620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilians lost their
lives as a result of the deadliest war in American history. With the Union
victory, slavery was abolished and the federal governments role was
strengthened.

1. An Antietam Campaign Civil
War Trail begins at the present-
day position of Whites Ferry,
where Confederate troops forded
the Potomac River and entered
Maryland in 1862. Cavalries clashed
in Poolesville, which was also
visited by Union soldiers in 1861 and
Confederate forces again in 1863.
The John Poole House, modeled as
an early 19th-century general store,
features Civil War memorabilia.
2. On the outskirts of Frederick,
where a must-see destination
is the National Museum of Civil
War Medicine, is Monocacy
National Battleeld, which tells
the story of two important
episodes of the war. Inquire at
the visitor center about Gen.
Robert E. Lees Special Order
191, which detailed Confederate
troop movements during the
Campaign of 1862. A copy of
the order was found by a Union
private and ended up playing
a role in subsequent battles.
Monocacy was also the site of
an 1864 conict dubbed The
Battle that Saved Washington.
3. South Mountain Battleeld
State Park, a hikers mecca,

5. In the town of Sharpsburg, the
bloodiest single-day battle of
the war took place along Bloody
Lane, across Burnside Bridge,
amid a corneld and outside
Dunker Church, all of which are
now preserved as Antietam
National Battleeld. It was the
rst major battle on Northern
soil: Casualties numbered about
23,000 one of every ve
ghting men. There was no clear
victor, but Confederate forces
retreated. A few days later,
President Abraham Lincoln felt
the time was right to issue his
Emancipation Proclamation, a
major step toward prohibiting
slavery.
The Newcomer House Visitor
Information Center, east of
Sharpsburg, can help with
planning a trip. Stops should
include both the Pry House
Field Hospital Museum and the
Kennedy Farmhouse, staging
area for abolitionist John
Browns failed pre-Civil War raid
of an arsenal in Harpers Ferry,
WV. Brown was captured and
executed, establishing him as a
martyr for anti-slavery causes.
6. A straight shot north of
Antietam along Sharpsburg
Pike (Rt. 65) is Hagerstown,
which was a key transportation
hub during the war. Today, it
features railroad museums,
historic mansions and Rose Hill
Cemetery, the burial site for
more than 2,000 Confederate
soldiers. Keeping vigil over the
graves is a 135-year-old, 19-foot-
high monument called Statue
of Hope. The Washington
County Museum of Fine Arts
ofers a special Valley of the
Shadow exhibit, with Civil War-
era textiles, weaponry, diaries
and more.
7. Another ofcial Maryland
Civil War Trail, Gettysburg
Campaign: Invasion and Retreat
follows troop movements
through the area of Westminster,
which provides art galleries and
boutiques. Around Main Street,
Capt. Charles Corbit and his
band of Union soldiers delayed
Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuarts
cavalry long enough to render it
inefective for most of the Battle
of Gettysburg in 1863. At the
Union Mills Homestead north
of Westminster, a Civil War
encampment takes place each
July. En route to Gettysburg, the
Confederate cavalry camped
here, followed hours later by
Union infantry.
8. Baltimores B&O Railroad
Museum displays the largest
collection of Civil War railroad
equipment in the world and
ofers a narrated train ride
to the Mount Clare Mansion
Museum, which occupies the
former site of the largest Union
encampment in the city. Civil
War exhibits and activities are
also available at the Maryland

there. Mary Surratt, who also ran
a boarding house in Washington,
was later hanged for her
supposed role in the assassination
plot. Guided tours of the house
and tavern explore the story of
the Lincoln conspiracy.
11. As Booth and Herold ed
to the Potomac River and what
they thought would be safety
across the water in Virginia, they
stopped in Waldorf at the home
of an acquaintance, Dr. Samuel
Mudd. Perhaps unaware that the
president had been assassinated,
Mudd treated Booths broken
leg and sent the two young men
on their way. For his actions,
Mudd served several years in
prison but was pardoned in 1869
by President Andrew Johnson.
Along with a house museum,
Mudds 10-acre Waldorf property
has a gift shop, exhibit building
and outbuildings. Mudd is
buried at St. Marys Church and
Cemetery in nearby Bryantown.

12. The driving tour that follows
Booths escape route skirts Zekiah
Swamp and enters Port Tobacco
before the trail crosses into
Virginia, which is where Herold was
captured and Booth was killed by a
federal soldier. Another signicant
Civil War site is found farther
east along the Potomac River.
On the edge of the Chesapeake
Bay, Point Lookout State Park in
Scotland includes a museum and
monuments speaking to its past
as a notoriously overcrowded
camp for 50,000 Confederate
prisoners. Hauntings in and around
a park-based lighthouse have been
reported for decades.
10. In April 1815, John Wilkes
Booth, an actor from Maryland
who held strong Southern
sympathies, assassinated President
Abraham Lincoln at Fords Theatre
in Washington, D.C. Hobbled by
a broken leg, he then rode on
horseback south through the
Maryland countryside, where one
of the rst stops on an ofcial Civil
War Trail tracing Booths escape
route is the Surratt House Museum.

TRIP IDEA PATH TO FREEDOM:
A PPPPPPPP
Harriet Tubmans Underground Railroad
While slavery still ourished in many states during the mid-1800s, thousands of enslaved people
sought freedom along a secret network of meeting points, trails, waterways and sanctuaries.
This was the Underground Railroad and Maryland, located on the border between North and
South, played a prominent role.
Perhaps the Railroads most famous conductor was Harriet Tubman, an escaped enslaved person
born on Marylands Eastern Shore and called The Moses of Her People. After escaping slavery in 1849,
Tubman returned 13 times over the course of a decade to guide about 70 enslaved people to freedom.
She was also a Union spy during the Civil War and became active in the womens sufrage movement.
The 100th anniversary of Tubmans death on March 10, 1913 touches of remembrances of her legacy
while also concentrating eforts to celebrate the accomplishments of other local African Americans, such
as statesman Frederick Douglass, surveyor Benjamin Banneker and labor leader Isaac Myers.
& A Proud African-American Heritage
THE BACKGROUND
The Underground Railroad (a phrase
coined sometime around the early
1830s) was only underground
in the sense that it was a covert
network, and it was hardly a railroad
except that its trails and waterways
conveyed people from one place
to another. Rail terminology was
used as something of a code by
conductors, who, at great risk to
themselves, guided the freedom
seekers to stations or depots
operated by station masters. The
Railroad actually began in the late
18th century and ran until about
1862. Enslaved people seeking new
lives in the Northern United States,
Canada and sometimes Mexico
would generally travel by night,
usually covering between 10 and
20 miles between stations. Some
estimates suggest that as many as
100,000 enslaved people were aided
by the Underground Railroad.

for his role as a conductor.
A new 6-foot-by-6-foot mural,
painted by a local Tubman
relative, was recently unveiled
at Cambridges Harriet Tubman
Memorial Garden.
The 65-foot Skipjack Nathan
of Dorchester ofers scheduled
heritage tours, including a sail
up Cambridge Creek and on the
Choptank River that immerses
travelers in the world of an
1850s port city.
In the 1960s, Baltimore native
Gloria Richardson led a civil
rights movement in Cambridge
that resulted in the promise of
school integration and equal
access to housing and jobs. A
Cambridge Civil Rights Walking
Tour is available.
2. East of the 2,700-acre
Blackwater National Wildlife
Refuge, a marker shows
the area where Tubman
spent her early years. The
landscape has changed
little in the last 190 years.
Recreational options
include cycling, paddling
and observing the annual
migration of snow geese.
Coming in the next year or so
is a Harriet Tubman Underground
Railroad State Park covering
17 acres adjacent to the wildlife
refuge. The park will feature a
15,000-square-foot visitor center,
an exhibit hall and theater, a
memorial garden and trails.
Next, visit a replica of the
Bucktown Village Store, which
is where Tubman is said to
have performed her rst act
1. Start at the Sailwinds Park
Visitor Center in Cambridge to
get information and pick up a
Finding A Way To Freedom
driving tour guide, which features
more than two dozen sites in
Dorchester and Caroline counties.
Cambridge is also the starting
point for a Harriet Tubman
Underground Railroad National
Scenic Byway that covers 125
miles along Marylands Eastern
Shore. Visit the Harriet Tubman
Museum and Educational Center,
which celebrates her life with
displays and tours. Also, stop
by the Dorchester County
Courthouse, where an exhibit
describes the dramatic maritime
escape of Tubmans niece,
Kessiah Bowley, from the slave
auction block. The Rev. Samuel
Green, a free black agent, was
tried at the courthouse and
sentenced to 10 years for owning
a copy of the novel Uncle Toms
Cabin, which was credited with
fueling the abolitionist movement.
Irishman Hugh Hazlett was
sentenced to 44 years in prison
of deance by helping a slave
escape from an overseer. During
the encounter, however, Tubman
was struck in the head with a
two-pound iron weight, leading
to lifelong health issues. The
store stands on its original
foundation and now houses
an outtter that ofers kayak,
canoe and bicycle rentals.
3. The East New Market
National Historic District, known
for its antiques stores, ofers
self-guided walking tours
amid three centuries of ne
architecture. Mt. Zion United
Methodist Church, dating to
1880, was built on land deeded
to a group of African Americans
that included Underground
Railroad agent Samuel Green.
Next comes Linchester, the
home of a historic gristmill
that employed both free and
enslaved African Americans.
This is followed by Preston, site
of the only surviving log cabin
on the Eastern Shore known to
be built by an African American.
4. A westward sidetrack toward
the Chesapeake Bay brings
visitors to Easton, the area
where Frederick Douglass, the
former enslaved person who
became a famous orator and
statesman, lived his early years.
In town, art exhibitions, great
dining and a museum tour are
all available. A seven-and-a-half-
foot-tall memorial to Douglass
stands on the front lawn of the
Talbot County Courthouse, site
where he presented several
lectures as an adult. A short
drive away in St. Michaels,
walking tours organized by
a local museum follow in the
footsteps of Douglass as an
enslaved teenage farm laborer.
5. Martinak State Park provides
terric camping, boating and
shing near Denton, which
features several Underground
Railroad ties. The Courthouse
Square was the site of both
a slave market and a jail that
held conductors such as Hugh
Hazlett. The Museum of Rural
Life includes relevant exhibits,
and the early-19th-century
Tuckahoe Neck Meeting House
had possible Underground
Railroad links.
6. The Harriet Tubman
Underground Railroad Byway
extends through Maryland as
far north as Greensboro and
Goldsboro, two trading hubs
along the Underground Railroad.

to visit the African-American Heritage Museum, featuring
artifacts from the time of slavery. Interpretive
panels around the Drayden African-American
Schoolhouse tell about this circa-1890
structure. And the Hollywood-based
Sotterley Plantation has a rare 1830s slave
cabin and more than 20 other outbuildings.

School utilizes docent-led
tours to explore the history of
education for African-American
children. At a new location in
nearby Fulton, the African Art
Museum of Maryland has a
collection of masks, sculptures,
textiles, jewelry, furniture and
musical instruments.

his is where the story of Maryland begins. It was here, nearly four centuries ago,
that settlers stepped of a boat from England, admired the gorgeous location they
had found and set about building new lives. Todays travelers can also get caught up
in the natural beauty of an unspoiled landscape that ows inland from the Potomac and Patuxent
rivers. Its a boaters wonderland, a sightseers delight and a seafood-lovers dream come true.
What a beautiful place to begin a story!

1. GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING: More
than 375 years old, Marylands Colonial
capital just keeps getting better. Historic
St. Marys City, once the site of the fourth
permanent settlement in British North
America and now an 800-acre outdoor
museum, is constantly renovating structures
and unearthing new links to the past.
Nearby, a water-taxi ride from Coltons Point
to St. Clements Island gets you to the spot
where Colonists initially landed.

TIME IT RIGHT:
10. REACH FOR THE BEACH: Seductive
serenity is a specialty at Chesapeake Beach
(Charter Fishing Capital of Maryland) and
North Beach. Summertime trolley service
links the twin bayside towns.
11. BE SEDUCED BY SOLOMONS: Visit
Solomons any time of the year to nd ne
bay dining, romantic sunsets and clear
sailing from one of North Americas deepest
natural ports. Tour a renovated oyster-
shucking house, cruise aboard a 19th-century
bugeye and explore the areas maritime
heritage at the Calvert Marine Museum.
12. PEDAL WITH PASSION: In a region big
on biking, one popular trail reaches 7.5 miles
around a 250-acre lake inside St. Marys
River State Park; another is the 13-mile
Indian Head Rail Trail, which runs alongside
mature forests and natural wetlands.
MARKING MILESTONES:
JEFFERSON PATTERSON PARK & MUSEUM St. Leonard
6. TRAVEL AT WHARF SPEED: The
Leonardtown Wharf Public Park has quickly
established itself as a popular push-of point
for canoe and kayak excursions.
7. DROP A LINE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME:
The host of national shing tourneys, Small-
wood State Park is an old favorite among
boaters casting a line for bass and perch.
8. HAVE A BALL WITH THE BLUE CRABS:
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs,
co-owned by Baltimore baseball legend
Brooks Robinson, play at an intimate,
family-friendly stadium in Waldorf.
9. QUENCH YOUR APPETITE FOR
RELAXATION: Warm welcomes await you
at crab houses, surf-and-turf restaurants
and more than half-a-dozen local wineries
that have gathered their share of awards.
2. FLOW WITH THE HISTORY: The Potomac
River famous for national shing tournaments
and bald eagle nesting sites also entices
history seekers. Four hundred years ago,
Capt. John Smith explored its mysteries; now
the Potomac is an American Heritage River
owing alongside inviting communities such
as Port Tobacco and Leonardtown. A national
historic water trail, named in Smiths honor, is
marked with smart buoys that communicate
historical information and transmit
observational data to passing paddlers.
3. LET US LIGHT THE WAY: A trip to local
lighthouses such as Point Lookout and
Point No Point (both more than a century
old) makes for a fun day along Southern
Maryland waterways. Also, stop by a
museum near the Piney Point beacon, where
the Potomac River Maritime Exhibit Building
features four historic wooden vessels.
4. MAKE A SPLASH:
Refreshing water-based
activities are fun for all
ages at Kings Landing
Park and amid the pools,
slides and fountains
at Chesapeake Beach
Water Park.
5. WALK ON THE WILD SIDE: Sift for
shells and fossilized sharks teeth on beaches
in Lusby and Indian Head, or follow a
boardwalk into the primordial world of a
Prince Frederick-based bald cypress swamp.

earned recognition as Maryland Arts &
Entertainment Districts for their commitment
to cultural oferings. One is Berlin, which
features entertainment options like
golng, horse racing and dining, but also
charms travelers with opportunities such
as horse-and-carriage rides. Other Arts &
Entertainment Districts include Salisbury,
Cambridge, Denton, Elkton and Snow Hill.

3. CASINOS & CLUBS: For the over-21
crowd, Hollywood Casino in Perryville and
the Berlin-based Casino at Ocean Downs
feature a combined 2,250 slot machines and
multiple dining options. The Eastern Shore
also has concerts in the park, contemporary
clubs around Kent Narrows and Stevensville,
and a variety of locally avored events such
as wine festivals and barbecue celebrations.
Easton enjoys a burgeoning music scene,
much of which revolves around the historic,
art-deco Avalon Theatre.
4. DONT WAIT TO HIT THE WATER: Janes
Island State Park has long been hailed by the
American Canoe Association as home to some
of the nations nest water trails. Pocomoke
River routes give you a glimpse of old-growth
forest and bald cypress swampland, and
Chestertown has a new kayak launch ramp. If
you want someone else to do the navigating,
charter boat captains are available for shing
and sightseeing excursions.
5. STOP AND LOOK AROUND: For
excellent hiking and biking, look no further
than Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge,
Viewtrail 100 and the ve-mile-long Cross
Island Trail. Of course, no one should leave
the region without visiting Assateague
Island, where wild ponies roam freely along
the beach and marshland.
6. HELP YOURSELF TO SOME HERITAGE:
Four ofcial Maryland Heritage Areas
promise their own unique experiences, such
as observing millions of migrating birds along
the Atlantic Flyway. There are also several
lighthouses dotting the Eastern Shore,
including one in St. Michaels that is part of a
world-renowned maritime museum.
7. BE A BIRD WATCHER: In Salisbury
not far from a wildlife management area
where waterfowl roost and a stadium that
features minor-league baseball played
by Shorebirds the Ward Museum of
Wildfowl Art brings you the worlds
largest collection of decorative bird
carvings. Salisbury also features one of
the nest free-admission small zoos
in the country.

TIME IT RIGHT:
MARKING MILESTONES:
8. MAKE A DISCOVERY: Pocomoke Citys
Delmarva Discovery Center, which recently
added a 6,000-gallon aquarium, lets you
explore three centuries on the Pocomoke
River from the perspective of Native
Americans and local watermen. Plus, the
National Trust for Historic Preservation
recently named Chestertown one of
Americas Dozen Distinctive Destinations,
hailing the Revolutionary-era port community
as a treasure hidden in plain sight.
Around the Kent Narrows, partake in some
exceptional seafood dining. From there, visit
the Colonial Courthouse in Queenstown and
the 17th-century Wye Grist Mill.
9. TALK ABOUT TOWNS: Readers of James
Micheners acclaimed novel Chesapeake
are already familiar with Oxford, the perfect
setting for bayside strolls and crab cake
dinners. But theres also
Easton, the regions
Colonial Capital
and one of its
cultural centers.
St. Michaels has
been recognized
in a national
magazine as
one of Americas
most romantic
towns, while Elkton
and Smith Island are also highly regarded
for their warmth not to mention their
eco-friendliness.
Routes throughout the region trace the stories of
statesman Frederick Douglass and Underground Railroad
conductor Harriet Tubman. Tubman is the main focus of
the FINDING A WAY TO FREEDOM driving tour.
For a journey back in time to the War of 1812 era, visit such
destinations as QUEENSTOWN, where local militia in the Slippery Hill
area stood up to more than 300 British troops; and CENTREVILLE, where
American soldiers twice assembled to march against the enemy. Then theres
ST. MICHAELS, which twice fended of attacks; look near the harbor for a private
residence nicknamed the Cannonball House because it was struck during a British
bombardment. In GEORGETOWN, the Kitty Knight House Inn is still standing today
because Miss Kitty convinced the British not to set it on re while ransacking the
rest of the town.

10. CRACK OPEN A CRAB: Journalist H.L.
Mencken described the Chesapeake Bay
area as a great protein factory, no doubt
smacking his lips as he said it. Sumptuous
steamed crabs, the worlds best crab cakes,
steamed mussels and oyster fritters are all on
the Eastern Shore menu. For a little something
to wash it all down, follow the Chesapeake
Wine Trail to two quaint family operations
Cascia Vineyards on Kent Island and the farm-
based Cassinelli Winery & Vineyards near
Church Hill. Just north of Sudlersville is the
boutique-size Tilmons Island Winery.
11. TRY OUR SHOPPING ON FOR SIZE:
Explore outlet centers in Ocean City,
Perryville and Queenstown, and then follow
an Antiques Trail to nd treasures of the
past on Kent Island, as well as in Stevensville,
Chester, Grasonville, Queenstown,
Chestertown, Sudlersville and Crumpton.
Local crafts are plentiful throughout the
Eastern Shore.
12. GET A GLIMPSE OF WHATS BEYOND
THE GREENS: Golng on the Eastern Shore
is all about atmosphere. Putt for birdies as an
eagle soars overhead, walk a fairway while
deer watch from the woods, or navigate
around challenging sand hazards before
unwinding on a sandy beach. Challenging
course designs are a big reason several
venues have received top reviews from
Golf Digest and Golfweek.

Maryland town of Leonardtown.
One force landed in barges at the
Leonardtown Wharf, which is now
part of a public park with a oating
launch for canoeing and kayaking.
Among the top bass-shing areas
in America, the Potomac River has
also been designated as an American
Heritage River for its historical
signicance. Invasion forces sailed up
the Potomac to attack Washington,
D.C., during the War of 1812, and the
Confederate Army twice crossed the
river in campaigns climaxing in the
battles of Antietam and Gettysburg.

Fishing & Boating
Abundant freshwater, bay and ocean shing lures anglers to
all parts of Maryland. Chartering a boat allows you to tap into
the expertise of a knowledgeable captain, but public ramps and
convenient marinas are plentiful if you have your own craft.
WESTERN MARYLAND
Deep Creek Lake has a boat launch and
nearly 70 miles of shoreline to cast for trout,
walleye and bass; ice shing is a popular
wintertime pursuit. Fly-shing takes place
along six miles of the Youghiogheny River
between Hoyes Run and Gap Falls, while
the Savage River is a nationally acclaimed,
year-round trophy site for brook, brown and
rainbow trout. Trout shing is also prized
among the rifes, deep runs and pocket
water of Casselman River, accessible via a
state park that features a century-old stone-
arch bridge on the Historic National Road.
CAPITAL REGION
Patuxent River State Park has largemouth
bass, pickerel and sunsh, as well as catch-
and-release trout. Big Hunting Creek, part
of Cunningham Falls State Park, is famous
among y-shers for catch-and-release
brook, brown and rainbow trout. Nearby
Little Hunting Creek, also popular for its
trout shing, is nicknamed the Stream of
Presidents since many U.S. Heads of State
have cast a y here when visiting Camp David.
CENTRAL MARYLAND
Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis
is the site of the closing ceremony for
EASTERN SHORE
Numerous shing options are available
whether you turn toward the ocean or
bay. From the lighted Choptank River
Fishing Pier, which adjoins Sailwinds Park in
Cambridge, the variety of catches includes
perch, striped bass, sea trout and catsh.
At Assateague Island National Seashore,
both the back bay and surf provide
excellent opportunities for weaksh and
ounder. Croaker and sea trout are also
possibilities.
the Maryland Fishing Challenge, a six-
month-long, state-sponsored event with
recreational anglers seeking a specially
tagged striped bass named Diamond Jim.
Three reservoirs within the region Liberty,
Loch Raven and Prettyboy have bountiful
bass, crappie, yellow perch, bluegill and
catsh that can be caught from shore,
rowboat or kayak. Just below Prettyboy
Dam, the upper section of the Gunpowder
River is a blue-ribbon trout stream. Along
the shallow-water Susquehanna Flats shery,
anglers arrive each spring to sh for striped
bass; access is available in Havre de Grace.

SOUTHERN MARYLAND
Smallwood State Park, a popular location
for national shing tournaments, ofers
both boat slips and stationary piers at the
Sweden Point Marina. A 250-acre lake
within St. Marys River State Park is
legendary for its bass shing, while another
state park, Point Lookout, invites anglers
to try for rocksh, hardhead or bluesh at
one of three shing areas, including a 710-
foot pier. Night shing passes are available,
though be warned: Point Lookouts history,
which includes a stretch as a notorious
Civil War prison camp, has lent itself to
ghost stories.

The C&O Canal Towpath follows a Potomac River
route for 184.5 miles from Washington, D.C., to
Cumberland. The canal comes up close to the
McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area, parts
of which are deliberately ooded during the fall

are important for waterfowl breeding. Among
12 hikes within Catoctin Mountain Park, one path
leads to the 18th-century Catoctin Iron Furnace.
