The Hager House offers the kind of historic experience that feels intimate from the moment you arrive. While visiting Hagerstown, Maryland, we stopped by the Hager House for a tour, and what initially looked like a handsome old stone building quickly revealed itself as something much more intriguing.

It is remarkable to think that one of baseball’s greatest figures entered the...
The first glimpse of Baltimore’s revitalized waterfront hints at a city embracing its future without forgetting its past. Historic brick warehouses stand beside striking modern architecture, marinas sway gently along the shoreline, and broad promenades invite lingering walks beside the water. On the Baltimore Peninsula, one property captures that same balance...
