Historically, Cumberland has been a center of transport connecting the nation by rail and boat. Take a memorable ride through the mountains on a historic Western Maryland Railroad steam train. See a replica canal boat and George Washington's Headquarters or do some shopping in the Canal Place heritage district. The city is modern convenience combined with Victorian charm, all within moments of the recreation available in the stunning Appalachian Mountains. The dining options range from casual cafes overlooking the canal to high-end, elegant restaurants.
