ockeysville, Maryland, located in Baltimore
County, has both the history of a major city
and the peace and quiet associated with
rural living. To see historical artifacts from the founding
fathers, visit the Grand lodge of maryland. Dating
back to 1787, the Grand Lodge was established by the
freemasons and the Lodge upholds Masonic traditions
to this day. Nearby, the Grand lodge museum and
library houses the desk where George Washington
resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief
as well as many other relics from the American
Revolution. The quarry used to produce marble for the
Washington Monument is also located in Cockeysville.
Hunt Valley’s name was based on being just east of
Maryland’s more traditionally known “Hunt Country.”
Each year the maryland hunt cup steeplechase horse
racing and jumping championship is held in Hunt Valley.
At the end of each summer, the timonium race track
hosts the annual maryland state fair. The fair features
rides, concessions, and live entertainment and lasts for
11 days to conclude the summer.
