Sagamore Pendry- Baltimore, MD
Sagamore Pendry is a fantastic boutique hotel located in a really interesting old building. A landmark in Fells Point for over a hundred years, the 1914 Beaux Arts beauty with the outstanding entrance arch once served as the immigrant processing station for Locust Point.

Whiskey Creek Golf Club- Ijamsville, MD
Whiskey Creek is my favorite Maryland golf course, bar none. With stunning views of the Catoctin Mountains, dramatic elevation changes, and ruins of an old distillery, it is an absolute pleasure to play.

Mallows Bay Ghost Fleet- Nanjemoy, MD
Mallows Bay is one of the most interesting parks you have never heard of. Home to the largest collection of shipwrecks in the Western Hemisphere, the shallow bay on the Maryland side of the Potomac River is the final resting place of over 230 ships.

Patapsco Female Institute- Ellicott City, MD
On a hill high above town, safe from the Patapsco River’s raging waters, are the remains of the Patapsco Female Institute. Designed by Baltimore architect Robert Cary Long, Jr., the stunning Greek Revival first operated as an all girls boarding school in 1837. Hit hard by the Civil War, the school limped along until the property was sold in 1891.

Glenview Mansion & Gardens- Rockville, MD
Originally a humble 1838 two story farm house on 500 acres, Glenview was transformed in 1923 by Lochie and Porter into today’s magnificent Neo-Classical mansion. Commissioned by James and Irene Lyon, they used the country estate for entertaining. In 1954, the mansion and 28 acres were sold to the Montgomery Country Historical Society for use as a civic center. Although the interior has been reconfigured, the garden remains largely intact. With fabulous stonework, lush landscaping and a central fountain, it’s a peaceful retreat from the outside world.
