Maryland Park Service
Living History Program

---

The Maryland 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 Maryland 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.
