Montgomery County (Maryland) - Wink Travel Guide

Montgomery County is in the Capital Region of Maryland, right on the border with Washington, D.C.

There are several quite unusual destinations that can make for a good trip. The National Mormon Temple in Kensington is enormous and impressive, famously drawing comparisons to the Oz's Emerald Palace from daredevil Beltway graffiti artists.

Nearby in Forest Glen is the very weird collection of exotic buildings at the half-abandoned National Park Seminary: a Japanese pagoda, a Swiss-style castle, a Dutch windmill, etc.

Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
