"Vacation" Close
to Home this Year
 As
you open this edition of the Crossroads Newsletter, we hope that
you'll consider
visiting some attractions in Washington County and Western
Maryland this summer.
School's out, the temperatures seem to be in the 90s and gas prices
are certainly higher than last year. It must be summertime!
A lot of local residents are planning vacations and wondering
where to go. With the price of gas even higher than last summer,
maybe it's a good idea to vacation a little closer to home if you're
used to going much farther away.
This might
be the perfect time to make that visit to Fort Frederick, the
Washington County Rural Heritage Museum, Crystal Grottoes,
or maybe take that family bike trip on the C&O Canal Towpath
or Western Maryland Rail Trail. Maybe you'll consider canoeing
on the Potomac, or tubing on the Antietam Creek, hiking in South
Mountain State Park, watching the Hagerstown Suns, or touring some
of the antique shops in Hancock, Beaver Creek, and Funkstown.
Visit our battlefields, see our history, see a show at the Maryland
Theatre or the Washington County Playhouse, take in a few of our
local fairs and special events, and be sure to taste-test locally-grown
fruits and vegetables at the many roadside stands and local farmers'
markets.
There are a lot of great places close to home, and you won't even
burn a tank of gas getting there and back. You'll truly have a
chance to economically support our own community.
Our part of Western Maryland is filled with sights and attractions
that make for great long-weekend excursions and more. With 5 national
parks, 8 state parks, and more than 35 museums, isn't it time you
visited THIS area?
To get more ideas about where to go and what to do, you can go
to www.marylandmemories.com, our Convention and Visitors Bureau
web site. Check out the brand new movie posted on the web site
(it's also at: www.hagerstowncvbmovie.com).
This summer, you could end up saving gas, and the money you spend
stays in our local economy. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Heritage Areas Authority Tours Washington County - Heart of the
Civil War Heritage Area
 Members
of the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area Steering Committee joined
with Board Members of the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, and recently
toured parts of Washington County. The familiarization tour group
included City of Hagerstown Administrator Bruce Zimmerman. The CVB's
Tom Riford who serves on the steering committee, Hagerstown Director
of Planning Kathy Mahrer, Washington County Planner Steve Goodrich,
Historian Dennis Frye, Barbara Beverungen, manager of the Carroll
County Office of Tourism, and John Fieseler, Executive Director Tourism
Council of Frederick County.
Carroll County, Frederick
County, and Washington County, plus two dozen cities and towns in
central and western Maryland have formed the “Heart of the Civil
War” Heritage Area. Sites in these counties were visited by
the group during the familiarization tour. When certified by the State
of Maryland, the new Heritage Area will be the 11th certified heritage
area in Maryland. The designation will make local jurisdictions eligible
for a variety of grants to boost tourism and historic preservation.
Once the area is fully certified, probably in July, grants will be
available to local governments, organizations, businesses and individuals
for marketing materials, preservation projects and new construction.
Local governments, businesses and nonprofit agencies can apply for
matching grants. They can also qualify for tax incentives to rehabilitate
nonhistoric buildings with a tourism use.
The multi-step
process to create the heritage area actually got under way several
years ago. The project includes an extensive area and history, and
the heritage area has had a complicated approval process. A 211-page
planning document has been circulated to all 29 local governments
for endorsement, which included public hearings regarding how each
jurisdiction would need to amend its comprehensive plan. Some of the
grants that have been applied for, through the new heritage area program,
include projects in Hagerstown, Boonsboro, and the Pry House Field
Hospital Museum. Currently, the heritage area is online: www.heartofthecivilwar.org.

Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack Available Free of Charge Through
the CVB
 The
Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack is being distributed at local
visitor and welcome centers, courtesy of the Hagerstown-Washington
County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and The Gruber Almanack Company,
headquartered in Hagerstown. The Hagerstown-Washington County Convention
and Visitors Bureau is making copies of the Almanack available free
of charge at the Visitor Welcome Center in downtown Hagerstown. The
CVB also distributes the Almanack to convention attendees coming to
Washington County throughout the remainder of the year.
The Hagerstown
Town and Country Almanack is an annual publication serving as a source
for regional weather predictions, useful household and farm information,
and insights into everyday living. It also is the home of the famous
annual "woolly bear caterpillar contest." It's been called
"uniquely Hagerstown," but is well-known throughout the
world. The Almanack has a long history, and is known as the second
oldest almanac in the United States, and the longest published family-owned
almanac. At 209 years old, it's one of the most talked about almanacs
around the nation. News organizations such as USA Today, U.S. News
and World Report, and NBC-TV have described the Hagerstown Almanack
as "out forecasting" the National Weather Service, and being
more accurate than most other weather almanacs.
Published by The
Gruber Almanack Company, The Hagerstown Town and Country Almanac remains
family owned and operated by the heirs of John Gruber. For travelers,
the Almanack is also available at the I-70 East and West Maryland
Welcome Centers, and the Sideling Hill MarylandWelcome Center. For

George
Washington and Statue of Liberty Bobbleheads to Be Distributed At
Suns Games Over Holiday Weekend
 The
Hagerstown Suns, together with the Hagerstown - Washington County
Convention and Visitors Bureau and Citigroup, are excited to present
another promotional “first” in professional baseball.
George Washington bobbleheads will be distributed to the first 1,000
fans who attend the Suns Saturday, July 1 game, and Statue of Liberty
bobbleheads will be given away to the first 1,000 fans on Sunday July
2nd. Out of 31 Washington County’s across this entire nation,
Washington County, Maryland, was given its name first in 1776. Our
county has numerous connections to our nation’s founding father.
The Washington Monument, located on the eastern edge of Washington
County, was the very first monument in the country erected to the
"father of our country," George Washington. The rugged stone
tower was dedicated to the first president by the citizens of Boonsboro
in 1827. The monument turns 179 years old this summer. The timing
of the George Washington bobblehead follows another important event,
Washington County, Maryland’s 230th birthday celebration along
with the 250th anniversary of Fort Frederick – where a young
George Washington stopped during the French and Indian War. In fact,
Washington traveled through Western Maryland many times in his early
years as a surveyor, and stayed in Hagerstown many times during his
lifetime. Suns GM Landes was especially keen on partnering with Citigroup
for the Statue of Liberty bobbleheads, as well because the statue
serves as a great symbol of our nation, making it perfect to give
away over the July 4 holiday weekend.
New
Civil War Trails Map Guide Released
 Officials
from the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development,
Office of Tourism Development, Virginia Civil War Trails, and their
many local partners recently joined together for a ceremony which
unveiled the Maryland/Virginia Civil War Trails map and guide. The

The Mid-Atlantic was a hotbed of military activity during the Civil
War; the scene of several major battles, including America's single
bloodiest day: Antietam. From the first bloodshed of the war in Baltimore
to the assassination of the president, these campaigns and significant
events are interpreted through easy to reach wayside markers along
trails clearly marked with colorful bugle signs. The new Maryland/Virginia
Civil War Trails guides will be distributed by the Maryland Welcome
Centers, local tourism visitor centers, and at sites along all four
trails. Visitors may also call 800-719-5900 or order via www.visitmaryland.org.

 Antietam's
Maryland Monument Rededicated in Special Ceremony
A
rededication ceremony on June 3 at Antietam National Battlefield
capped a $300,000 restoration project for the Maryland Monument.
The 106-year-old marker, which was constructed in 1900, honors Maryland
Civil War dead who fought for both the Union and Confederate armies.
The Monument is unique because only Maryland had armies of soldiers
fighting for North and South. The small octagonal temple had suffered
corrosion from moisture to the iron framework beneath its copper-paneled
dome, requiring its replacement with a modern steel framework. The
restoration project was funded by a partnership between the National
Park Service, the monuments commission, The Herald-Mail, Antietam
Partners and private donations, according to a news brief released
by the battlefield.

“Beyond
The Batttles” Civil War Impact Exhibit Featured at Washington
County Rural Heritage Museum
 The
Washington County Rural Heritage Museum’s latest exhibit “Beyond
the Battles” focuses on the impact that the Civil War had on
the local communities. Throughout that war Washington County was a
divided community in a divided state. As a regional crossroads it
served as a staging area for both Confederate and Union forces —
and was ravaged indiscriminately by both sides. Farm fields were battle
sites. Farmhouses, barns and other outbuildings were blown up or burned
down. Livestock and harvests were appropriated for military use. Wood
fence posts and food were in desperately short supply after a series
of troop incursions and occupations. How the populace survived under
these harsh conditions is the principal theme of this exhibit. “Beyond
the Battles” will remain open until December 1, 2006 at the
Washington County Rural Heritage Museum at 7313 Sharpsburg Pike. The
museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 PM. Visits at other
times may be arranged by telephone (240-313-2839) or e-mail lhendrickson@washco-md.net.
