Baltimore Weekend Getaways: Your Perfect Road Trip to Frederick, Maryland

Once a colonial crossroads, Frederick, Maryland, still offers up historic charm … now with awesome craft breweries and galleries on the side. Only an hour’s drive from Baltimore (or D.C.), Frederick is something of a modern-day trading post: the perfect place to window shop, dine well, and connect with locals. But don’t forget the area’s outdoorsy cred, either. Thanks to its location at the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Frederick also happens to be ringed by scenic state parks. If you’re seeking Baltimore weekend getaways, move this one right to the tip-top of your list.
