In Maryland, the Civil War is best explored in the footsteps of generals, on the heels of an assassin and by understanding the stories of the citizens who survived the conflict. Four carefully mapped driving tours link together a collection of both well-known and less-known sites from Baltimore City, throughout the Chesapeake Region, Southern Maryland and into Western Maryland.
From the Kennedy Farm, where John Brown stages his 1859 attack on Harpers Ferry to Abraham Lincoln's 1865 funeral train, there's no better way to uncover the story than on a Maryland Civil War Trail.
