Where we are
Thurmont is a designated Maryland Main Street community, with a walkable downtown and a settled, small-town feel. The outdoors is the real draw here: Catoctin Mountain Park, with its hiking trails and forests, is right next door, and the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve is a nearby family outing.
Getting around
Baltimore and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, are each about an hour away, so residents get the quiet of the mountains without giving up access to the cities. For a day trip, Baltimore's Inner Harbor is within reach.
