    History is worth looking at. This is an interesting spot if you're a Washington fan. Get to know…read morehis early days.

    Borrowed from the below site:…read more www.mdmountainside.com/listing/george-washingtons-headquarters/2042/#:~:text=The%20Headquarters%20of%20George%20Washington,the%20United%20States%20of%20America. "The Headquarters of George Washington is a historic site, located at 38 Greene Street, in the historic downtown district of Cumberland, Maryland. The centerpiece and primary attraction at the site is a historic log cabin twice occupied by George Washington, the first President of the United States of America. The cabin resides in an area known today as Riverside Park but was originally built about 2 blocks away. The original site is located nearby at 16 Washington Street. The cabin was originally built by General Edward Braddock's men, between 1755 and 1758, for then Colonel George Washington's use during his service in the French and Indian War. He later returned and used it briefly during 1794, then as the Commander in Chief, in order to review the troops gathered to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. This site is notable, as it signifies Washington's first military command. The original site lies on a hill that overlooks Wills Creek and the Potomac River. It was once the location of Fort Cumberland (Maryland) and today, The Emmanuel Episcopal Church (Cumberland, Maryland). The headquarters was part of Fort Cumberland during the French and Indian War, and it is the only building to survive from the original Fort. Though closed to the public, the cabin has windows visitors can peer into and see historical displays and artifacts of what the cabin may have looked like including a bed, desk, and fireplace as well as a life-size wax replica of Washington." If you come here, parking in the area is somewhat tight. During our visit, Greene and Baltimore Streets were under a lot of construction so we parked two blocks away for a buck in a pay lot near Basecamp Coffee. If you're so inclined, you could also park on the other side of the creek at the visitor center and walk over the bridge to get here. We came, read the placards, took a few pictures, walked a short distance to read a few more of the placards that go under 68 but then saw a few loud locals (i.e. homeless-hobo-vagrant) and thought better of going any further. With that said, this is by no means a stop that you're going out of your way for. At best, this is a few minutes passing curiosity just to say that you saw it. If you want something more substantive about Washington's time in the general area as a British officer, the NPS site Fort Necessity is the place. Tons of stuff there that George did including surrendering to the French. www.nps.gov/fone/index.htm

    Sat in a dome car but unfortunately had a snooty young blonde at our very expensive table…read more.. So I Self located downstairs... Drinks were good . 90 minute stop in Frostburg was nice but many restaurants and shops were closed as it was a Monday.

    A Mixed Bag at Best -- Disappointing Value and Execution…read more I paid $150 for the murder mystery train ride, and while I had a few expectations going in, the experience left a lot to be desired. The Good: The single bright spot of the evening was that--traveling alone--I was seated at a four-person dinner table with wonderful guests who made the night bearable. The chocolate cake for dessert was also quite nice. The Murder Mystery Show: If you are hoping for something engaging and even a little dramatic, you won't find it here. The performance was completely all over the place, making it hard to follow what was actually happening. It felt entirely improvised, leaning heavily into a corny brand of comedy rather than a true mystery. Logistically, the setup is a nightmare: actors, servers, and guests were constantly bumping into one another just to navigate the narrow aisles. The icing on the cake? One of the actresses spent most of the performance hissing, screeching, and shouting--likely spitting into nearby food in the process. The Food: Considering the price tag, I expected better. Dinner was just okay, landing at a solid 2.5 out of 5 stars. I ordered the steak, which was aggressively average, but my salad came with an unwelcome bonus: a hair. The Sunset Ride (Bonus Gripe): $60 I also participated in the sunset ride the following night, and it was equally underwhelming. First, the 7:00 PM start time is simply too late to catch a proper sunset. Second, any lingering sunlight is entirely blocked by the dense forestry cascading along the route. For a three-hour excursion, about two hours of it was spent riding a cold train in total pitch blackness--feeling more like a mundane daily commute than a romantic evening out. I sat in the dome car which was tight and cold, the space was so small it was impossible not to feel like everyone was in your conversation and you in theirs. The Verdict: Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend this train experience to anyone for any reason. But hey, if you don't believe me, feel free to find out for yourself.
