Paul,
The State of Maryland can extend the same protection over cultural resources on
private
lands that it currently exercises on state lands, provided of course the propert
y owner
requests such protection and agrees to certain stipulations. For further informa
tion you
should contact Rodney J. Little, State Historic Preservation Officer, Maryland
Historical Trust, 100 Community Place, Crownsville, Maryland USA 21032-2023; Tel
.
410.514.7600. They have a Web site, but I don't know the URL off hand.
