Maryland's Heart of the Civil War tells stories from some of the most fought-over U.S. territory during the war. Confederate and Union forces clashed again and again for control of strategic points throughout three counties in north-central Maryland: Washington, Frederick, and Carroll counties. For three straight years (1862-1864), the war marched south-to-north from the Confederacy to the Union, and back again.

The Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area is located immediately below Pennsylvania and the famed Mason-Dixon Line, generally viewed as the boundary between North and South. Enslaved and Free Blacks could be found living side by side throughout these Maryland counties. White residents here possessed mixed allegiances to the Union and Confederacy, giving credence to the expression “brother against brother.” To the south of Frederick and Washington counties, the Potomac River was the only thing separating the free state of Maryland from Virginia, mighty capital of the Confederacy. These were unique “border counties within a border state.”
