What is a heritage area? Maryland's Heritage Areas are places to experience - to see, hear and even taste - the authentic heritage of Maryland in ways that you cannot experience anywhere else. Heritage Areas exist where the stories of the people, the land and the waters of Maryland, which have been intertwined for thousands of years, are told.
