Things to Do in Maryland: Roadside Attractions & Hidden Gems

Maryland state flag

Maryland brings unexpected roadside gems—WWI ship graveyards, Ouija board tombstones, and the world’s largest pencil. Some of these attractions we’ve visited, others are still on our radar. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
