It's no wonder that pretty-as-an-autumn-picture Shepherdstown is the site of this festival premiering top-ranking films on conservation on Oct. 23-25 and Nov. 5. Many of the buildings in the oldest incorporated city in the state predate the Revolutionary War. The town is also filled with homegrown eateries and independent shops — nary a chain store in sight — and hosts music events, theater and jam sessions. (Judy Olsen / Baltimore Sun)

As warm afternoons give way to cool, crisp evenings, the region awakens its summer nap, abuzz with new openings, performances and cultural events. Vibrantly hued country roads become stomping grounds for festivals, tours and concerts. Rather than retreat to the sofa when it's time to put away the hammock, check out these fall getaway itineraries. They are all within a few hours' drive from Baltimore.
