Follow the lighthouses. Explore the Chesapeake Bay and the towns and attractions that line its shores. Maryland has more than two-dozen lighthouses – from Drum Point Light in Solomons, to Hooper Strait in St. Michaels, and up to Turkey Point Light in North East at the head of the bay. Travel the Chesapeake and you’ll also intersect War of 1812 history. Two annual events beckon: Defenders Day Celebration, Sept. 5 at Fort Howard Park in Baltimore County; Star-Spangled Banner Weekend, Sept. 11-12 at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry. Maryland, land of the free.
Three-day tours of Maryland's greatest treasures.
