With its rich history, major cities, beautiful coastline, and mountain regions, Maryland has something for every visitor to enjoy. Maryland is split into five major regions: Capital, Western, Central, Southern, and Eastern Shore, each with its own unique character and splendid sights for its visitors.

While the National 4-H Youth Conference Center can host up to 400 people and is only a short drive from Washington. For a historical venue north of Washington D.C., consider the Glenview Mansion & F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre in Rockville, less than half an hour from the Capitol.
