MARYLAND

The story of the Battle of Fort McHenry, the salty atmosphere of an Eastern shore wharf, the growth of tourism and commerce in the “Free State” today and many more colorful elements are presented in this pavilion. The building itself combines contemporary architecture with the brick walks and the round-cornered brick walls traditional in the state. On the upper level are a restaurant and lounge.

Like many other pavilions at the Fair, Maryland offered displays about its history and industries, as well as a restaurant serving local specialties. (CD35 Set 179 #3)  


 

A small pond in front of the pavilion featured a scale model of the frigate USS Constellation, which is based in Baltimore as a museum ship. (CD22 Set 118 #6)
