The Maryland Town That’s So Worth The Journey

There are so many towns scattered throughout central Maryland, it’s easy to bypass some of the gems while on your way to another destination. The following town is located right off of Route 70 and it’s worth stopping by for its old town charm, history, and scenic views.

Mount Airy is spread out between both Carroll and Frederick county. It looks like another ordinary historic Maryland town, but it has unique qualities worth exploring.
