Must-see Monuments and Landmarks Near Maryland
Fort Frederick is one of the first places to be on Maryland’s list of important landmarks. Constructed in 1756 on the north shore of the Potomac River, the stone fort has withstood the ravages of time and provides a peek into the lives of those who were posted at this frontier fort during the French and Indian War. Park officials organize reenactments for visitors and offer tours of the facility.
March to the sounds of battle as you hike the Monocracy Battlefield. Relive an essential part of history as Confederate General Jubal Early led his troops to the outskirts of Washington, D.C., in 1864 to ease pressure on the forces under General Robert E. Lee in Petersburg by invading Maryland. On these 1,600 acres of rolling farmland, the Union forces delayed Early for one day, which was just enough time to get reinforcements into the trenches around Washington for a successful defense. Organizers present reenactments of this little-known but important battle.
Antietam National Battlefield holds an important place in American history. In this single day of fighting, Union forces defeated the invading Confederates on September 17, 1862. The sacrifices made here are well-documented and visible via a night auto tour where 33,000 candles are lit on the anniversary evening of the battle, covering the acreage over which Americans fought each other so long ago. Each flickering candle represents a life lost in a struggle that led to the defeat of the Confederacy three years later.
