Top 5 Traveler Resources in Cumberland, Maryland (MD)
At the base of the Appalachian Mountains in Allegany County, Maryland, the city of Cumberland has been a military outpost manned by George Washington, a shipping hub, a manufacturing capital and "The Gateway to the West." Head to the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and explore the same paths taken by early American pioneers. A ride on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad carries visitors back to the golden age of rail, chugging past stunning mountain scenery in vintage train cars.

Free handicapped parking, CC only meters. This is also the Canal and train depot building. Canal museum is free (National Park System) which is downstairs, and the train depot and gift center (upstairs). You can check those individual reviews.

Near the downtown exit of the freeway, we parked in a coin lot to the east of Parkview Liquor Store, under the freeway, and walked 1 block east to George Washington's HDQ. The small log house built in 1755 had information boards in front and just to the side was a memorial to the National Road with the Zero Marker stone nearby. A pathway to the south led to an overlook of the Potomac River and its broad Roller Dam. From here, a pedestrian bridge crossed the tracks to the Cumberland Station/Visitor Center and just to the south, a peek to Lock # 8 of the C&O Canal. So much history in a one block area for 4 quarters parking in the shade.
