Maryland is known as “America in Miniature” because there is something that in the annals of the United States can be encountered in this state as in the whole country. Carved at the shores of the Chesapeake bay, stretching to the Appalachian range of mountains, Maryland intrigues with harmonious blend of revolution histories and exquisite topography.

To add on this, the Chesapeake Bay which is the largest estuary in the United States is located in Maryland and forms a natural beauty in the region. Apart from being home to many species of wildlife this important water channel also supports the regional aesthetic generally associated with such commercial activities as boating, fishing, and crabbing that are core to the regional culture. The food culture here particularly in the choice of the blue crabs and other sea foods is actually a direct dedication to the bay.

Apart from water, geographically, the topography of maryland shifts very quickly to the Mechants rolling hills of the appalachian in the west. The trails and overlooks in this region are exceptional, thus making it perfect for hikers, bikers and everyone with passion for nature. As well, the section of the Appalachian Trail found in Maryland has been proven to provide beautiful views and a serene suggestion from the rude jostle of the city.

Socially, Maryland is rich in culture and many aspects of its history including the rich colonial architecture of Maryland’s capital city Annapolis to modern features such as vibrant artistic and music industries in Baltimore. Old buildings and heritage sites are the major tourist attractions in Annapolis while the arts and festival calendar that is very alive in Baltimore depict the modern year Briggs 40.

All in all, the two natural resources that make up Maryland; geography and history make up a special state that is not only beautiful but also full of history and culture that will suit everyone.
