Planning Your Time
If your time is limited to a weekend, spend a few hours touring somber Antietam; in Frederick, check out the downtown historic district's shops, museums, and restaurants; and hike or bike along one of the many mountain trails. If you're in search of serious relaxation, it's easy to pass the time exploring the area's peaceful small towns, historic homes, and scenic lakes and forests.
