Presentazione generale
Southern Maryland and the Chesapeake
Rural peninsulas, fossil cliffs and first colonial sites between Potomac and Chesapeake.
To understand what Southern Maryland and Chesapeake are, you have to look at Historic St. Mary's City, Point Lookout State Park and Calvert Cliffs State Park. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, riverscapes, heritage and countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Major site
Historic St. Mary's City
Historic St. Mary's City revives Maryland's first capital with colonial buildings, historic site architecture and an archaeological narrative that avoids the mere reconstruction. It is clear in a few hours how the daily life of a colony was organized in European and indigenous exchanges.
Culture and heritage
Point Lookout State Park
Point Lookout State Park occupies a point exposed between Potomac and Chesapeake Bay, with beaches, marshes, lighthouses and long views of the water. The history of the site, marked by a camp of prisoners of the Civil War, gives a particular gravity to this coastal landscape. The tour alternates easily memory, fishing, walking and maritime horizon.
Culture and heritage
Calvert Cliffs State Park
Calvert Cliffs offers cliffs of miocene sediments that let the teeth of sharks and shells touch through erosion. The trails cross woods and marshes to a discreet beach, with the caution of respecting unstable areas that also protect the terrain.
Culture and heritage
Sotterley
Sotterley preserves an old plantation with main house, outbuildings and slave box, all overlooking the Patuxent River. The visit puts in relation architectural, social hierarchies and agricultural work, without attenuating the reality of the contrasting lives that shaped the place.
