Here is what they had to say in their article:
As the geographic region integral to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the formation of the Continental Army that won the American Revolutionary War, the ratification of the United States Constitution, and central to much of the Civil War, the mid-Atlantic states are brimming with historical significance. Adding to their old-world charm, many small towns have retained and restored historical architecture from the 1700s and 1800s and embraced historical preservation, tours, and re-enactments as part of their culture and tourism industry.
Soak in the history as you board a tall ship in Chestertown, Maryland, visit West Virginia’s first African-American college on the Harpers Ferry Black Heritage Walking Tour, or visit a Victorian-era ice cream parlor in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. Appreciators of the outdoors and arts will also find their niche in the mountainous or seaside landscapes and the vibrant theatre and arts scene these towns offer. These charming towns are a great place to start your mid-Atlantic adventures.
