With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Cumberland, 20 miles away, has to offer. Downtown Cumberland Historic District, Western Maryland Railroad Station and LaVale Library alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Martinsburg, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s For the Kids, By George Children’s Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Wonderment Puppet Theater and Triple Brick Museum.)
