State Forest and Park Service
Living History Program
The State Forest and Park Service manages many facilities with tremendous historic importance. Among the more stellar of these historic structures are Fort Frederick, a colonial fortification in Washington County; Smallwood's "Retreat," a restored colonial dwelling in Charles County; Catoctin Furnace, an iron factory dating from the Revolutionary War in Frederick County; and two historic mill complexes in Harford County.Visiting such historic places is a worthwhile trip. In addition, the State Forest and Park Service offers unique programs with ranger portrayals of historic characters, and sponsors a variety of living history events throughout the year featuring the color and pageantry of three centuries of Maryland history.
