If you’re a history buff, then chances are you know that the Civil War’s Battle of Antietam happened just to the west of Brownsville. In fact, the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brownsville was used as a field hospital during the battle. Even though the Union Army burned the church down during the war, the town rebuilt the church after the war ended. You’ll be able to learn a lot about the battle by visiting the battlefield and the church.

If you’re looking for a relaxing day out, you can head north of town to the local wineries. There, you can sample the different wines being grown, take a tour, and enjoy some of the Maryland scenery. You can even try some local cheeses while you’re there.

If you want to learn even more history about the area, you can visit the South Mountain Heritage Society. You’ll be able to see artifacts dating back to the 1800s as you walk through the rooms of the historic church, built in 1829. The museum also hosts a variety of events, especially in the warmer months, so make sure to check online to see what might be happening during your travels.

Western Maryland is a relatively rural part of the country, and as you’re driving through, you are likely to see farm after farm. So why not indulge in the local flavors? Dairy is in large production in the area, so you’ll likely be able to find some homemade, fresh ice cream or even some nicely aged cheese to get a true sense of rural Maryland flavor.
