    4.  About Fair Hill (Elkton, MD) Venue: 
    Fair Hill is a 5,656 acre Natural Resources Management Area, where multiple
    management practices are employed for the maximum use and protection of 
    Maryland's natural resources. Bordered by Pennsylvania to the north and less
    than one half mile west of Delaware, Fair Hill is known for its pristine 
    fields, woodlands and natural beauty. At one time one of the largest private
    land holdings in the east, Fair Hill was formerly owned by William duPont Jr.,
    an avid e​questrian rider who acquired the farmland as a means to enjoy riding
    as well as fox chasing. Fair Hill was purchased by the state in 1975 from
    Mr. duPont's estate.​
