2. The Enchanted Forest: Maryland's Whimsical Relic

Nestled in the woods of Ellicott City, Maryland, the Enchanted Forest was a storybook-themed park that opened in 1955. Designed to bring fairy tales to life, it featured charming attractions like Cinderella's castle and the Old Woman's Shoe. Despite its popularity, the park closed in 1995 due to competition from larger theme parks. Today, the remnants of the Enchanted Forest are hidden among the trees, slowly being reclaimed by nature. The whimsical structures, now covered in moss and vines, evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, capturing the imaginations of those who stumble upon them.
