I notice you are in the Maryland area. There are actually a large number of Muslims in the area. You probably see many daily and do not even realize they are Muslim. Islam is a religion and not a nationality or ethnicity. I do not look any different than any other old Texas Cowboy.
Here is a listing of some of the major Islamic centers in Maryland along with their phone numbers. Feel free to call any one of them and let them know you would like to visit a mosque. I am certain they will be very happen to tell you where the closest one to you is. It may be closer than you expect.
