Just south of the Maryland-Pennsylvania border, the town of Rising Sun, MD, offers visitors a quiet escape from the rest of the world. What’s beautiful about Maryland is that no matter where you are, you are never far from the water. Rising Sun is less than 15 miles away from the northernmost reaches of the famed Chesapeake Bay. Rising Sun has an interesting history, having once been a part of the Quaker lands, and then being argued over by the governments of both Pennsylvania and Maryland. With a fair share of historic buildings, Rising Sun almost acts as a time capsule into life both in colonial times and at the dawn of the railroad industry.
