Admirers of planned cities will enjoy Columbia, Maryland, located off Route 29 between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Established in 1967, Columbia is one of developer James Rouse's success stories. Organized communities and lots of mature greenery spiral out from a downtown lake and recreation area.
During the summer, the Merriweather Post Pavilion hosts outdoor stage concerts featuring nationally known performers. The Maryland Museum of African Art is another reason to visit Columbia.
