Maryland is known as America in Miniature because it encompasses some many different kinds of landscapes. It is home to coastal sand dunes, marshlands, as well as mountains with forested with oak and pine, plus lots of bird and wildlife, especially near Chesapeake Bay.
It is the birthplace of the National Anthem and carries additional nicknames, Old Line State, Free State and the Chesapeake Bay State. It is one of the original thirteen colonies and became a state on April 28, 1788.
It has 28 national parks, trails and monuments, 53 state parks that includes 3 Rail Trails and 2 state battlefields.
The state motto is “Manly deeds, womanly words,” or as more generally stated, “Strong deeds, gentle words.”
