The small state of Maryland is surrounded by the vast Chesapeake Bay, which roughly bisects it in half. The state is also roughly divided to the west, with just 1.6 miles of Maryland separating the state lines of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Also bordered by Delaware, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, Maryland is located in the heart of colonial America and saw action during the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Its place at the forefront of American history includes a significant role in the Underground Railroad, the Industrial Revolution, westward expansion, the Space Age, and every other major period in American history.
01. Fort McHenry National Monument
Built in 1803 to guard the entrance to Baltimore's busy harbor, Fort McHenry became a national symbol after withstanding a 24-hour bombardment by the British in 1814. The fort defended Baltimore from occupation and inspired Francis Scott Key, who was captured on a British ship during the attack, to write The Star-Spangled Banner.
You can walk along the ramparts, tour the buildings, and watch a dramatic multimedia presentation on the fort's history and national anthem.
Fort McHenry is the highlight of the 560-mile Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, which traces the Chesapeake Campaign of the War of 1812 through Virginia, Washington, D.C., and central Maryland. Other landmarks along the way include Baltimore's Star-Spangled Banner Flag House and Sutterly Plantation, the site of a British campaign during the war. You can download a map to find other sites.
02. National Aquarium
The dramatic National Aquarium building overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor replicates a variety of ecosystems as habitats for marine animals, birds, mammals, and adapted plant life from around the world.
At the Atlantic Coral Reef exhibit, you can visit a 335,000-gallon exhibit where you'll be surrounded by a rainbow of nearly 100 species of colorful tropical fish and other reef species, including blacknose sharks. One thing to watch for is feeding time, when divers feed the reef fish.
Not all environments are underwater, but they share a common connection to the water. The largest of these is the five-story Amazon River Forest, where you can explore the different levels from the forest floor to the treetops and see birds, frogs, plants, and even sloths and monkeys.
One of the most popular things to do at the aquarium is to see six Atlantic bottlenose dolphins from the underwater viewing area. Dolphin Discovery is the aquarium’s largest exhibit, and you can watch these fascinating creatures play and interact with each other from the amphitheater.
Author’s Tip: Every Friday from 5pm to 8pm year-round, admission to the museum is half-price; you can get advance tickets online or buy them at the door.
Address: Piers 3 and 4, Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland
03. Walters Art Museum
Located in Baltimore's Mount Vernon Cultural District, the Walters Art Museum is a unique cultural landmark and one of the few institutions in the world to present such a comprehensive history of world art.
Covering all media of art from the third millennium BC to the early twentieth century, the beautifully displayed and interpreted collections - all beautifully displayed and interpreted - are best known for their exceptional jewelry, enamels, ivory, bronzes, and illuminated manuscripts.
The Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine antiquities are extraordinary, as are the collections of medieval and Renaissance art. The museum has particularly good interpretive materials to engage young children in exploring the collection.
Tip for parents: Stop along the way to pick up booklets with puzzles, treasure hunts, and activities that engage children in the exhibits. Before and after your visit, you can explore Art Adventures, the museum’s free virtual program that includes art-making videos and downloadable activity packets.
Address: 600 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland
04. Baltimore Museum of Art
Known for its magnificent collection of 19th-century modern and contemporary art, the Baltimore Museum of Art now houses 95,000 works by artists including Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall, in addition to the world’s largest collection of works by Henri Matisse.
In addition to painting, sculpture, and graphic art, the BMA exhibits significant collections of textiles, jewelry, and furniture, as well as African, Asian, and Near Eastern art. The African collections are among the most important in the United States, with more than 2,000 objects ranging from ancient Egyptian art to contemporary works of art. Masks, skulls, statue carvings, jewelry, royal staffs, textiles, ceremonial objects, and pottery reflect more than 200 African cultures.
Outside the museum, two landscaped sculpture gardens showcase a century of modern and contemporary sculpture. Inside, the highly acclaimed restaurant, Gertrude’s, showcases the rich atmosphere of the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding farmland.
Parent Tip: Free Family Sundays include monthly drop-in art workshops in Fox Court from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. These typically explore themes suggested by current museum exhibits and are designed for families with children ages 6 to 9; all materials are provided.
Address: 10 Art Museum Drive, Baltimore, Maryland
05. Baltimore Inner Harbor
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is a fascinating place for visitors, filled with attractions and entertainment options. The entire area and the surrounding areas set back from the water are beautifully developed with parks, hotels, restaurants, shops, museums and historic ships for tours.
The most important of these is the sloop-of-war USS Constellation, a three-masted sailing ship that saw action in the Civil War and intercepted slave ships off the African coast. Also open for tours are the submarine USS Torsk, the US Coast Guard cutter Tanny and the lightship Chesapeake.
Surrounding the harbor are the National Aquarium, the Visionary Art Museum and the interactive Maryland Science Center. In addition to a planetarium, the Science Center is packed with hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and science activities, making it one of Baltimore's favorite places for families to visit.
HarborPlace is a modern complex with glass-enclosed pavilions that feature shops, restaurants, and an amphitheater on the promenade.
06. Old Town Annapolis and the William Puka House
A few blocks between the Town Dock and the Maryland State House, Old Town Annapolis is filled with equal parts history and charm. Once the United States Capitol, the State House is the oldest building still in continuous legislative use.
Down the hill, through narrow streets lined with picturesque brick and clapboard buildings, lies the William Puka House and Gardens, home of William Puka, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Fully restored and furnished with period antiques and original family furnishings, the house is a remarkable example of a prominent and prosperous Annapolis family home from the colonial era and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The two-acre garden, with its terraces, topiary, and fish pond, has also been restored to its 1760s appearance.
Author's Tip: On a hot day, take a break from the historic sites and head to Sandy Point State Park on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Lifeguards are on duty on the mile-long sandy beach, and you can rent boats at the park's marina to see views of Annapolis from the water. In December, the beach becomes a colorful holiday wonderland as Lights on the Bay fills the park with more than 70 illuminated displays, many of which are animated.
Address: 186 Prince George Street, Annapolis, Maryland
07. Assateague State Park
Assateague State Park is located on Assateague Island, a barrier island on the eastern shore of Maryland. The east side of the island features a wind-swept landscape of the Atlantic Ocean, with a long beach popular for swimming and surfing in the summer.
Along the island's more sheltered bays, park visitors enjoy fishing and kayaking. The island supports a diverse range of wildlife but is particularly known for the wild horses that roam the dunes and windswept grasslands. The park has campsites, picnic tables, a camp store, and a snack bar. The nearest city is Berlin, about eight miles away.
08. American Visionary Art Museum
Also in Baltimore's thriving art scene, the American Visionary Art Museum exhibits and celebrates the work of local and self-taught artists from around the world. Its collection and frequently changing exhibitions are often surprising and thought-provoking, looking at art in new ways and from new perspectives.
They may represent traditional folk crafts that have been passed down through generations, or they may be creative uses of found materials by artists using whatever medium is available to satisfy their creative drive. The exhibitions that fill its main building - itself an award-winning work of art - and the adjacent sculpture barn - will never bore you and will likely leave you smiling.
Sculpture is a prominent feature here, and each May the museum's Dynamic Sculpture Competition features a line of original sculptures on the streets of Baltimore. The strange human-powered "vehicles" complete a 15-mile circuit through the city that includes hill climbs and other obstacles.
Crowds gather along the way, and the most popular viewing point is where the vehicles descend a ramp into the harbor and where the unfathomable waters of the ocean plunge. Food trucks line up to feed the audience, who join in the fun in crazy costumes. Only in Baltimore.
Address: 800 Key Highway, Baltimore, Maryland
09. Ocean City Boardwalk
One of the most popular beaches in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic Coast, Ocean City has 10 miles of free public beaches and a three-mile classic wooden boardwalk that has been praised as one of the best in the country. This popular promenade is lined with shops, a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, a 1902 carousel, and food stalls selling everything from the famous Delmarva Fried Chicken to saltwater taffy and hot funnel cakes.
A tram takes visitors between attractions, and the beach frequently hosts free concerts, movies, and other evening activities. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum has a saltwater tank where you can see native marine life.
With miles of unspoiled coastline and acres of canals and back bays to explore, Ocean City is a prime spot for watersports. Consistent year-round waves attract surfers, and several surf schools can teach you how to ride them. A half-dozen surf shops are ready with equipment.
You can rent stand-up paddleboards, or explore some of the wildlife-rich canals in a kayak or canoe. Family-owned Ayers Creek Adventures can take you on guided eco-tours of the tidal canals and back bays.
10. Antietam National Battlefield
Few places capture the horrific cost of war quite like Antietam National Battlefield, the scene of one of the bloodiest days of the Civil War. On September 17, 1862, Union troops advancing from the east faced Robert E. Lee’s Confederates advancing from the west. In the ensuing battle, nearly 23,000 men were killed, wounded, or missing.
Today, the battlefield is still an open countryside, dotted with monuments to regiments on both sides. Civil War buffs will want to follow the entire eight-mile, self-guided tour (on foot, by bike, or by car); others shouldn’t miss the Old Dunker Church, where the first skirmish took place; Sunken Road, where the next phase ended; and Burnside Bridge, where Union troops forced General Lee to retreat at great cost.
Parent Tip: Older children will get the most out of their battlefield tour by downloading the treasure hunt from the National Parks website. The treasure hunt questions encourage them to read the signs as they follow the auto tour.
11. U.S. Naval Academy Museum and Chapel
The U.S. Naval Academy Museum preserves artifacts and memorabilia related not only to the academy but also to important figures and activities in American naval history.
Medals, uniforms, and personal effects are reminders of historically significant events. These include the table where the surrender was signed at the end of World War II, and the flag that flew on the deck of the USS Missouri during the signing.
An entire room is devoted to ship models, notable because each model was built at the same time as the ship itself was being built. Some date back to the mid-16th century, and several are the only records of the construction and features of the ships. The collection of ship machinery is equally impressive, as are the painstaking pieces of art created by prisoners aboard naval vessels. The museum is free.
The chapel, which was a key feature in the academy's designation as a National Historic Landmark, is notable for its striking stained glass windows, filled with symbols of the high ideals of service and other symbols commemorating naval heroes. In the crypt, there is the elaborate tomb of naval hero John Paul Jones.
A tour of the academy should begin at the Armell-Leftwich Visitor Center, where you can join a guided tour or watch the 13-minute film, The Call to Serve.
Address: 118 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland
12. B&O Railroad Museum
The B&O Railroad Museum is one of Baltimore's most popular attractions and showcases some of America's railroad history. The museum is housed in historic buildings, including the Mount Clair Station, and features an extensive collection of locomotives and coaches, many of which are in working order.
The main attraction in the Roundhouse, where rolling stock is displayed, is a turntable with 22 connecting tracks. Mont Clair Station itself is an important part of American railroad history, as it was from here that the first passenger train in the United States traveled to Ellicott's Mills in 1830.
The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad highlights the role of the B&O train in helping slaves escape to freedom. It tells the story of 27 people who traveled safely north on the actual railroad with the help of "conductors" who hid and fed them.
The exhibit is located in the museum's Mount Clair Station, where some freedom fighters traveled to escape.
Address: 901 West Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland
13. Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Home to the Baltimore Orioles, the city's Major League Baseball team, Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 and ushered in a new era in ballpark construction. Eschewing the bland, multi-purpose suburban stadiums, Oriole Park recalls the classic city feel of old-fashioned ballparks like Boston's Fenway Park, but with all the modern, state-of-the-art amenities.
Housed in the former rail center at Camden Yards, it overlooks the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore. Fittingly, it’s just two blocks from the birthplace of baseball’s most legendary hero, George Herman “Babe” Ruth. Ruth’s father ran Ruth’s Cafe in the basement of the family home, which is now the heart of Oriole Park.
The small house where Babe Ruth was born is now a museum, and there’s a statue of Babe Ruth just outside the park. You can tour Oriole Park for a behind-the-scenes look at the press box, club level, and dugout.
14. Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
The 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is the centerpiece of a collection of historic buildings and boats that depict life and work on the Chesapeake Bay, from the time Native Americans hollowed out logs for canoes.
In the small boathouse, you’ll see working and recreational watercraft used throughout the bay’s history, including early adaptations of Native American canoes for fishing and oystering.
At Waterman’s Wharf, hands-on and audio exhibits immerse visitors in the world of oysters and crabs in a simple hut and aboard an oyster skipjack. You can also see the former home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ sister Eliza Bailey Mitchell and a heritage garden of kitchen and medicinal plants cultivated along the bay since Native American times. Staff continue the tradition of building and repairing working boats while maintaining the museum’s floating fleet.
The Chesapeake Bay hosts one of the world’s great bird migrations as millions of waterfowl, shorebirds, and songbirds take refuge in its coastal wetlands each spring and fall. In addition to hunting and birding, this migration has spawned a whole waterfowl industry. You can see waterfowl exhibits here, while in nearby Easton each November, the Easton Waterfowl Festival is the nation's premier wildlife art show.
Address: 213 North Talbot Street, St. Michaels, Maryland
15. Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park
The C&O Canal operated as a transportation route from 1828–1924, primarily transporting coal to Georgetown along the Potomac River. Hundreds of locks, lock houses, and waterworks still stand as reminders of the canal's role as a transportation system during the canal era. The canal follows the course of the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, MD.
The canal is bordered by well-maintained towpaths, where mules and horses once worked to pull barges through the canal. The path is now a park, and the towpath is popular for walking and bicycling, and in some sections, horseback riding. In most places, the path is shaded by trees, often offering views of the Potomac River.
Along the way are the remains of locks, lockkeepers' cottages, and canal buildings. Perhaps the most striking of these examples of canal architecture is the Monocacy Aqueduct, a seven-arched stone bridge that carried the canal over the Monocacy River. Built between 1828 and 1833, this 536-foot-long aqueduct is a symbol of canal and transportation history.
Several sections of the C&O Canal have been re-watered, and you can kayak along them and along the Potomac River adjacent to the national park. You can rent kayaks, rowboats, canoes, paddle boards, and bikes at Fletcher's Boathouse at the end of the canal at mile marker 3.2 in Washington, DC.
Towards the west end, at mile marker 99.6, the canal is re-watered from Cushwa Basin to just below Lockhouse 44, and is a favorite spot for fishing.
16. Fells Point
The historic area of Fells Point was once Baltimore's shipbuilding center and is now one of its most vibrant neighborhoods. More than 100 small businesses, including restaurants, cafes, and locally owned shops, line Main Street and fill its adjacent lanes and the restored brick buildings of the waterfront. More than 300 of these are National Register of Historic Places buildings.
The first shipyard owned by an African American now houses the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park Museum, which celebrates the contributions of African Americans to the development of Baltimore's maritime industry. Housed in one of the city's oldest waterfront industrial buildings, the museum commemorates abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers, a free-born African American who founded the Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company and was a major force in uniting African American workers.
Don't forget to stop by the lively Market Building, where vendors sell local food. In early October, during the Fell's Point Fun Festival, the entire six-block waterfront area is transformed into a giant marketplace of food and crafts from local artists and artisans.
17. Swallow Falls State Park
Near Oakland in western Maryland, Swallow Falls State Park is located along the Youghiogheny River (pronounced Yok-a-Gheny, and popularly known as "The Yough") and hides a world of rapids, cascades, steep cliffs, rock formations, canyons, and a 53-foot waterfall.
You'll see all of this from a moderately easy trail about 1¼ miles long, which winds through beautiful forests before descending to a stream and entering Muddy Creek Falls, Maryland's tallest waterfall. Follow the trail along the stream and through a gorge until it reaches the Youghiogheny River. The trail continues upstream and through a steep-sided canyon.
Rock faces extend into cave-like formations before reaching Lower Swallow Falls and then Upper Swallow Falls. Look for Swallow Rock, a rock pillar left behind as the river cut through the soft surrounding rock. The falls are named for the cliff swallows that once nested in the rocks.
The Youghiogheny’s fast-flowing waters are perfect for fishing upstream from Swallow Falls to Sang Run. But The Yoke’s real fame lies with whitewater kayakers, who brave the class IV and V rapids of Pennsylvania’s legendary Upper Swallow.
18. Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park
Established in 2022 to mark the 200th anniversary of her birth, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park is a combination state and national park located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The park brings together several significant sites from the life of this formerly enslaved woman who dedicated her life to helping others escape.
She was the best-known “conductor” of the Underground Railroad, a secret network of volunteers who hid, fed, and saw off those escaping slavery on their way to the next “station” until they reached Canada and freedom. She is said to have repeatedly risked her life to guide at least 70 enslaved people north to a new life.
At the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, you’ll find exhibits on Tubman and her work, an audio-visual program, and interpretive programs. Visit the sites around Harriet Tubman’s home, where she was born into slavery, escaped, and returned to lead her family and friends to freedom in the North.
Parent Tip: At the National Historical Park, your kids can start collecting National Park Trading Cards by joining a ranger program or by engaging with the rangers by asking questions or joining in on discussions. The cards here relate to the Underground Railroad and the civil rights movement. Kids can expand their collection when they visit other parks in Maryland, including Antietam National Battlefield, the C&O Canal, Fort McHenry, and Monocacy National Battlefield.
At the Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center in Cambridge, you can learn more about her life and see a powerful mural completed in 2019.
These and other sites are part of a self-guided road trip, the Tubman Byway, which you can follow with a free map or free audio guide. The surrounding landscape and waterways look much as they did when she lived here, much of it protected by the adjacent Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.
Address: 4068 Golden Hill Road, Church Creek, Maryland
19. Deep Creek Lake
Maryland’s western hill country is a playground that’s often overlooked by tourists heading to the eastern beaches. But Deep Creek Lake has 69 miles of shoreline to explore and nearly 4,000 acres of water where you can go boating, paddling, fishing, or swimming.
Its shores are lined with resorts; beaches; spas; shops; waterfront restaurants; and places to rent canoes, sailboats, kayaks, and bicycles.
The mile-long shoreline, including two beaches, is part of Deep Creek State Park, where you’ll also find a campground; 20 miles of hiking and biking trails; and the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center, where they can meet local wildlife, observe birds, and learn about nature through interactive exhibits. Kids will also love the Splash Island Inflatable Water Park and Monkey Business Adventure Park.
While summer is peak season for lake activities, Garrett County is where Marylanders head to see the mountain slopes covered in brilliant fall foliage in the fall, and in winter, Wisp Ski Resort is another local secret.
20. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
Located 12 miles south of Cambridge on Maryland’s eastern shore, the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge spans 26,000 acres of wetlands, ponds, and forests. The refuge is home to a large number of migratory birds and is a popular spot for birdwatchers. The area is also home to the rare Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel, which was recently removed from the endangered species list.
The best times to visit are in the spring and fall when the birds are migrating, but the property is beautiful and you can see wildlife any time of year. A visitor center has information about the wetlands. The best way to see the refuge is on one of the many walking trails or from the Wildlife Drive.
Address: 2145 Key Wallace Drive, Cambridge, Maryland
21. Historic Annapolis: Colonial Wonder
Historic Annapolis stands as a living testament to America’s colonial past, with cobblestone streets and 18th-century brick homes telling the story of the nation’s early years. Nestled along the Chesapeake Bay, this charming city once served as the temporary capital of the United States and still preserves its timeless heritage. Visitors can tour the Maryland State House, the oldest state capital still under continuous legislative operation, and admire the charming Georgian architecture that lines the waterfront. From sailing on the bay to strolling through boutique-filled streets, Annapolis beautifully blends history and modern charm, providing a captivating glimpse into the spirit of the nation’s founding.

The harbor also hosts year-round events, from outdoor concerts to arts festivals, creating a festive mood for all ages. Day or night, National Harbor shines as a true urban oasis that offers endless fun and relaxation.

Great Falls Park showcases the raw power and beauty of nature as the Potomac River flows through rugged cliffs and roaring rapids. This stunning park straddles the border of Virginia and Maryland, offering stunning views and scenic trails that attract adventurers and photographers alike.
