10 - The Awakening at National Harbor. There is no chance of waking this sleeping giant,
but there’s a high probability of getting an amazing photo.
The Awakening is a 15-foot-high, multipiece sculpture of a bearded giant bursting from
the ground.
For 30 years, the National Park Service had displayed the giant in Washington DC; now
he makes his home on the beach at National Harbor; and that doesn’t take into account
everything else you can do while you’re there at the National Harbor!
9 - Patuxent River Naval Air Museum. A fantastic museum to visit if you want to get up close
with a variety of planes.
The aviation museum is devoted to the scientific and technical history of US Naval Aviation
research, development, testing, and assessment; it also has a museum shop and a collection
of more than 25 aircrafts.
Throughout the year, the museum offers a range of activities.
It is compact in size yet brimming with interesting history and equipment to see and learn about.
Additionally, they have a great gift store.
If you're a military or history enthusiast, this is an excellent location to spend several
hours.
If you're looking to get out of the house and like aircrafts, I suggest spending an
hour or two here.
8 Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center. Is situated in the picturesque Solomons, Maryland,
at the confluence of the Patuxent and Chesapeake rivers.
The entry to this top-of-the-world environment is marked with a humorous 6-ton ceramic gate.
Take a stroll around the 3-acre sculpture garden, which features 3D works of art created
using a variety of materials.
The Arts Building, which has received many awards, has a rotating exhibition space, a
gift store, and a sunny terrace.
Don't forget to check their schedule for rotating exhibitions, festivals, family events, and
programs, and to learn more about this unique space where art and nature meet!
7 - Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Park. In 1971, The National Park was created.
Historically, this byway was used to carry coal, lumber, and crops.
Today, it is an ideal location for hiking, biking, and boat trips, as well as just enjoying
the scenery.
The pathways span the length of the canal, offering many opportunities.
Due to the area's historical significance, there are also many attractions around several
major canal locations.
Throughout the summer, both the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center and the Williamsport
Visitor Center offer boat tours.
Keep an eye out for the lock house and other historic buildings along the way.
We are all aware that seeing a piece of history may be a life-changing event.
6 - Ego Alley. Put on your walking shoes and enjoy a stroll around downtown Annapolis's
historic streets.
These neighbourhoods are filled with charm, with brick-paved lanes and old houses.
The marina is dubbed "Ego Alley" because of the presence of several colossal boats.
These boats are often decked up in Christmas decorations over the holidays and are quite
a sight to see.
You better check this place out!
5 - Baltimore's Free Art Museum. What could be better than a single world-class museum that
is completely free?
Two, perhaps?
And that is precisely what you will discover in Baltimore, since both the Walters Art Museum
and the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) provide free entry.
The BMA is home to the world-renowned Cone Collection, which includes works by Matisse,
Picasso, and Degas.
The Walters' globally famous collection of art spans the globe, and includes one of the
world's greatest collections of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts.
Located in Baltimore's Mount Vernon district, visitors may relax on a park bench just outside
the Walters Museums.
4 - Mallows Bay. The "Ghost Fleet" is a diverse group of 200 known shipwrecks.
NOAA has classified the area as a National Marine Sanctuary.
Grab a kayak and a GoPro and go out to explore Mallows Bay's ghost fleet.
This stunningly breath-taking scene is one of the many that may be seen exclusively in
Maryland.
One of the biggest ship graveyards in the entire United States.
You'll discover shipwrecks going all the way back to World War I, and some even older.
3 - Washington County Museum of Fine Arts. Is a strong community anchor enhancing cultural
opportunities, destination tourism, civic engagement, and economic vitality.
Established in 1931 and dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting works of art
for citizens from the four-state region, and national and international visitors, the WCMFA
(Washington County Museum of Fine Arts) is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
The Museum is a nationally recognized art collection, changing notable exhibitions,
and numerous lively programs, educational offerings, and concerts.
There is something for everyone here.
The Museum’s art collection includes over 6,500 works of art in the fields of American
Art, world cultures, and art of the region.
Changing exhibitions bring works of art from national and international sources to the
region along with exhibitions recognizing regional artists.
And once you're done visiting the museum, taking a walk through City Park is mandatory!
2 - Assateague Island National Seashore. Assateague is a barrier island off the coast of Maryland.
The tranquil beaches of Assateague Island are just a short distance from the hustle
and bustle of Ocean City.
This deserted island is split into two sections, one of which is a state park and the other
of which is a National Seashore of the United States.
The stunning island is most renowned for its wild ponies, which provide an incredible sight
as they run down the shoreline's sand dunes.
There is no lack of activities in this fascinating national park, from camping to kayaking to
riding.
Swimming is permitted on the majority of the island's beaches, and lifeguards are stationed
at the most popular locations.
A great experience that allows you to appreciate the scenery.
1 - Swallow Falls State Park. Outside of Oakland, MD is Swallow Hills State Park.
The Yahoo Fiogenie River runs directly through the park's boundaries, producing many breath-taking
rapids and gorges.
The murky stream falls, a 54-foot waterfall with a big splash, is a highlight of every
visit to Swallow Falls State Park.
A short 1-mile walk leads you to the falls, passing past magnificent hemlock trees along
the way.
Different hiking levels for hikers with little to no hiking experience to experienced hikers.
If you're up for a lengthier, more difficult trek, you may walk from Swallow Falls to Harrington
Manor State Park, a well designated trail that is little more than 5 miles in length.
