Forty minutes away from Baltimore, Fulton is a small suburban neighborhood in Howard County. Some parts of the community feature impressive, luxury homes. The area is heavily wooded, filled with lakes and quarries. Since this town is engulfed in natural beauty, outdoor activities are extremely common. Visit the T. Howard Duckett Watershed for bird-watching, boating, fishing, hiking, hunting & equestrian riding. After you’re done enjoying nature, learn some art history at the African Art Museum of Maryland and view pieces from Morocco to South Africa. Sign up for the African Experience Tour for a hands-on art opportunity.
Fulton is a quiet, peaceful community, but it does host a few small events throughout the year. Haggle at the farmers market or head to Looney’s Pub where beer pong contests and dance nights are held. The biggest festival of the year is the Maple Lawn Street Festival, a fall event complete with food, games, music, and a moon bounce. The Colombia Pike is only a few minutes from town, giving convenient access to Baltimore. Be sure to try Baltimore’s famed steamed crabs at Nick’s Fish House or L.P. Steamers.
