Fun Fall Activities in Maryland

What are some of the best activities in the fall in Maryland?

Here are some of the most colorful ways to bring in the season.

  • Cumberland: Discover how gorgeous the vibrant fall leaves are among so many church steeples. Take the Pumpkin Patch Limited train ride offered by Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Check out the local spirit as folks go all out here decorating their homes for the season. And participate in the many fall events this little town brings.
  • Linville Manor: As early as the late 1600's this stately mansion and sprawling grounds in Upper Marlboro have been a topic of conversation. Look for the special events and ghost tours offered throughout the year. It seems one special time to visit is 1:11 a.m. when guests have reported the gathering of spirits in the lounge and the sounds of unexplained crashes in the halls.
  • Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum: Dr. Mudd is known for setting the leg of John Wilkes Booth the morning after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Sign up for a tour of his home in Waldorf to experience the unexplained, such as full-body apparitions, faint knocks on doors, and phantom footsteps. And the most fascinating reason to visit is the guestroom where John Wilkes Booth spent the night. Folks have witnessed an impression of a human body on top of the covers.
  • Apple picking: Maryland is full of apple orchards, a great excursion on a chilly autumn day. Larriland Farm in Woodbine, Rock Hill Orchard in Mount Airy, and Baugher's Orchard & Farm in Westminster are just a few. Sample fresh cider, purchase some mums, take hayrides, and by all means, pick some apples for baking a delicious pie or apple dumplings - our favorite ways to warm up afterward.
