I’ve lived in Maryland my entire life but didn’t know or appreciate much of the Old Line State’s history — until I toured St. Mary’s City. And this year, the 375th anniversary of Maryland’s founding, is a great time to visit the southern part of the state.

If you are looking for something to do on a warm, lazy summer day and want to experience a small town near the beach but not crowded with beach goers, take a trip to Milford, Del.
