Around Maryland

Singers There are many more sites and adventures to experience beyond Baltimore. Visit Maryland and find our stories everywhere, stories of our richness and strength, and of the contributions African Americans have made to building this state and this nation.

Throughout the state, historic homes, museum collections, faith institutions, schools and more offer clues and insights into the full spectrum of the African American experience.

From the mountains of Western Maryland, through the rural towns and growing suburbs, into the bustling city and onto the quiet beauty of Maryland's Eastern Shore, the story of Maryland's African American legacy is one to be discovered and shared.
