Washington County at Atlas Obscura

Previously, I listed the sole Garrett County location covered by Atlas Obscura. The site has five locations in Washington County. Never fear, Washington, we will do better than that!

Big Pool: Fort Frederick. “A star fort along the C&O Canal in western Maryland that protected America in three wars.”

Boonsboro: Crystal Grottoes Caverns. “Bizarre Cavern.”

Knoxville: The Sign Above the Tunnel. “This advertisement for talcum powder was painted on the rock face and has since defied removal.”

Sharpsburg: Killiansburg Cave. “A cave on the Maryland border where civilians took refuge during the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.”

Smithsburg: Abandoned Hang-Gliding Launch Pad. “A labor of love built by local hang-gliding enthusiasts, this ideal launch spot was outlawed by the authorities and has since been largely abandoned.”

Next: Frederick County in Atlas Obscura!
