The Society for Creative Anachronism is a nonprofit, educational group devoted to recreating the Middle Ages in the present time. The Barony of Highland Foorde, a local branch of this society, encompasses Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett counties in the beautiful rolling foothills of central Maryland's Blue Ridge mountains. Our SCA branch name, Highland Foorde, derives from these foothills and from the fast-flowing Potomac River that borders our Barony to the south
