Make it a “terror-ific” getaway at the The Lord Baltimore Hotel, The Wayside Inn, or The Robert Morris Inn–all recently named as some of the Mid-Atlantic’s “most haunted" hotels or inns by Washingtonian Magazine. | | | | | Take a Bite Out of Fall Festivals | Fall is food festival season! Enjoy Maryland fall food events like the Westminster Oyster Stroll, The Savor Bowie Fall Fest, the Maryland State BBQ Bash in Harford County, Oktoberfest in Berlin, the Good Beer Festival and so much more. And celebrate Seafood Month with a getaway along the Crab & Oyster Trail and stay at a Maryland hotel or inn to catch more fall fun the next day.
