The Great State of Maryland
Originally founded as a safe haven to provide religious tolerance for England's Roman Catholic minority in the 1700s, Maryland is known as "America in Miniature" due the variety in its topography, from forests and mountains, to sandy dunes and marshlands.
In central Maryland, Baltimore City - the city on the bay - is home to Inner Harbor and rich with history and attractions. Fort McHenry National Monument & Historic Shrine is a historical treasure. Frederick is the capitol of Maryland and also replete in American history.
On the western side of this state, Deep Creek Lake is Maryland's largest freshwater lake, offering plenty of water sports, fishing, and miles of lovely shoreline to captivate any outdoor enthusiast. Ocean City, on the eastern shore, packs year-round family fun. On Maryland's southern tip in the Chesapeake lies Solomons Island - a charming waterfront village with dining, shops, fishing and other activities.
