In many ways, the story of American can be told through the story of Baltimore.
With so many museums and attractions, Baltimore makes for plenty to do for residents as well as a great weekend trip for folks from out of town. Have fun exploring the different museums learning about the history of the city, state, and country. Go where the Star-Spangled Banner was written or where a train would stop on the way to Ohio. Learn about all different types of animals visiting the zoo or aquarium. If you are a sports lover, then Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium is a must visit.
