Western Maryland Scenic Railroad
A restored steam powered train runs through the mountains between Cumberland and Frostburg—it's a great way to see the countryside. The train usually runs in the mornings on most weekends starting around 10AM. It's a 3.5 hour round trip.
Allegheny Highlands Trail
A twenty mile section of the Great Allegheny Passage, a trail leading from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. and paralleling the Western Maryland Scenic Road. The hike to Frostburg is about 10.5 miles. The hike to Pittsburgh or D.C. is considerably longer!
Events

This is the major festival in the city, with historical exhibits, lots of live performances, and a lot of people milling about.
