Maryland Historical Trust | 100 Community Place, Crownsville, Maryland 21032 | 
The Maryland Historical Trust was formed in 1961 to assist the people of Maryland in identifying, studying, evaluating, preserving, protecting, and interpreting the state's significant prehistoric and historic districts, sites, structures, cultural landscapes, heritage areas, cultural objects, and artifacts, as well as less tangible human and community traditions. The Trust is the principal operating unit within the Division of Historical and Cultural Programs, which is an agency of the Maryland Department of Planning. The Board of Trustees of the Trust is composed of 15 members (12 of which are appointed by the Governor to serve four-year terms, as well as the Governor, the Senate President, and the Speaker of the House of Delegates, or their designees). Maryland's State Historic Preservation Officer, appointed by the Governor pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, is a member of the Trust staff. As of this writing, the Trust and the Division employ 78 individuals at the central offices in Crownsville and at two satellite museum facilities.

Maryland Loyalists | Suppressing Rebellion Since 1777 | P.O. Box 87 Woodstock, Md 21163
1st Battallion of Maryland Loyalists
1775 marked the beginning of Americas first "civil war". Not the war between the Blue & the Gray, but the war we call the American Revolution. In an ultimate bit of irony, those who wanted to break away from their lawfully constituted government were called "Patriots" while those who remained loyal in the face of overwhelming opposition were labeled "Traitors".
