Off the Beaten Path Maryland and Delaware ─ A Guide to Unique Places

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Whether you're a visitor or a local looking for something different, let Maryland and Delaware Off the Beaten Path show you the Old Line and First States you never knew existed. In Maryland, indulge your inner kid with a night in a tree house in Gapland, or join the thousands who have taken the plunge at the Little Wedding Chapel in Elkton. In Delaware, partake in the Punkin Chunkin contest in Lewes---an annual event to see who can hurl pumpkins farthest using catapults and other odd contraptions. So if you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.
