Relocating to Frederick Maryland

Gently Rolling Hills of Frederick Maryland

Looking at a map, Maryland is small, oddly shaped and squeezed between Pennsylvania and Virginia.

High up in the wooded Appalachians, Western Maryland has all the mountain trappings of West Virginia. Closer to sea level, crab boats bob in the Chesapeake, evoking a stately Southern feel. Near Virginia, Southern Maryland is a wash of suburbs surrounding Washington D.C.

Civil War Facts about Maryland:
