St. Mary's City

MD · 38.1892, -76.4322

Religious Freedom Byway and Star-Spangled Banner Byway are 2 of 5 signed byways within 30 miles of St. Mary's City, Maryland.

Despite the name, and the slogan: "Once the Metropolis of Maryland," St. Mary's City is less of a city than a collection of outdoor and indoor historical exhibits around the historic sites of this former pioneer town—plus a small public liberal arts college at St. Mary's College. The former institution, the Historic St. Mary's City Museum, is a satisfying historical destination that is kid-friendly as well, with interpretational exhibits with costumed staff. St. Mary's College is a nice visit as well for its pretty grounds and waterfront.
