Start on page 12, with a roundup of great activities offered throughout the county in the coming months. Next, page over to the Arts & Leisure section of this issue (starting on page 46), to find out more about the Weinberg Center of the Arts’ winter season, packed with great shows for kids, musical acts for the adults, and a fabulous speaker series, featuring luminaries such as Jane Fonda and Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

During these long winter months, many people find themselves feeling sadder, depressed by the fewer hours of sunlight, and fewer opportunities to get outside and invigorate.

Psychotherapist and compassion coach Lisa McCrohan is here to help, with tips for us all to “Notice the Good” that surrounds us each and every day. See her ways to train our brains in the Health Care section (page 36).

One more way to warm ourselves up this winter is with some delicious, hearty food.

Frederick’s own “Golden Mile,” also known as U.S. Route 40, is filled with outstanding international treats from end to end. On page 20, learn about the wide variety of cuisines to feast on, including Vietnamese, Peruvian, Indian, Japanese and Mexican, just to name a few.

With all of these options for warming up our bodies, minds and spirits, Frederick County is starting to feel toastier by the minute!

Cheers!

Cold Weather Shelter Assists Those In Need

Each November, the Alan P. Linton Jr. Emergency Shelter in Downtown Frederick officially opens. Its purpose is to shelter adults age 18 or older who need a warm, clean bed. The shelter is operated by the Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs, which has assisted the Frederick region with a variety of programs since 1981.

The cold weather shelter originally opened in 1990, with beds provided in local churches. At that time, the Coalition was able to house about 20 people per night. A major fundraising campaign enabled the Coalition to purchase a site and construct the Alan P. Linton Jr. Emergency Shelter in 2002, enabling the group to serve far more clients.

The shelter remains open each night through mid-March, regardless of outside temperatures, from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., with 20 beds for women and 60 beds for men.

In addition to the nighttime shelter, the Coalition also supervises a Day Shelter to provide refuge from the cold for vulnerable clients with physical and mental problems and the frail elderly. It

10

first opened during the winter of 20072008, and is housed in the Cold Weather Shelter, also November through March.

The Coalition trains volunteers and supervises the Day Shelter; it also seeks volunteers to help nightly at the emergency cold weather shelter.

Volunteers typically hand out supplies, stock donated items, greet clients, and assign beds. To volunteer or to learn more about services, go online to www.thereligiouscoalition.org.

Winter is Full of Warm Activities!

by Charissa Hipp, Digital Marketing & Media Relations Manager at Visit Frederick

If long-range forecasts are correct, Frederick County will be seeing plenty of snow this winter.

But don’t worry, there are plenty of indoor activities in the region during the next few months so you can still get out and enjoy Frederick County, despite the weather.

The Downtown Frederick Partnership’s February First Saturday (downtownfrederick.org) event is one of the most popular all year. Known as “Fire in Ice,” it is scheduled for Feb. 7. The event, aimed at attracting shoppers to the downtown, explores the contrast of fire and ice, warmth and cold.

Area residents and tourists flock downtown for the unique opportunity to see artisans transform blocks of ice into works of art. There are typically more than 30 sculptures set up in front of stores and restaurants throughout Downtown Frederick.

Children can enjoy an ice playground and an ice walk on Carroll Creek that’s also fun for the youngat-heart. When you need a warm up, head inside to one of the many shops that will stay open late, and enjoy free hot cocoa, s’mores stations, and fire pits throughout the downtown streets.

If you want to plan something special with your valentine this year, there are many events throughout the month of February that would appeal to couples. Linganore Winecellars (linganorewines.com) in Mount Airy offers a special romance package called Days of Wine and Roses. This intimate wine tasting includes a long-stemmed rose and a box of 12 local gourmet chocolates. Red Shedman Brewery and Hop Yard at Linganore Winecellars has an intimate beer tasting planned called Hops and Hearts.

Elk Run Vineyards (elkrun.com) is offering a valentine package featuring a romantic movie, soup, chocolate and of course, wine! Or step back in time with the Walkersville Southern Railroad’s (wsrr.org) Sweetheart Special Dinner Train, featuring a four-course meal and a ride through scenic Frederick County. Just be sure to reserve your tickets early.

Hundreds of Years of Icy Fun in Frederick

by Amanda Johnston, assistant director, Historical Society of Frederick County

Jacob Englebrecht, Frederick city diarist, mayor, tailor and town observer, noted the following in his journal during the winter of 1875: “We have had very severe weather, plenty of ice.

All the ice-houses are filled and now, if anything, the ice is still better. The thermometer has been 16

down one morning to 10 degrees below zero in our city. Plenty of skating on the pavements for the boys. Friday, February 5, 1875, 8 p.m.�

About 140 years later, Frederick residents still find ways to venture out and enjoy the fun of the winter season. Frederick County offers winter recreation at Pinecliff Park with sledding and

ice skating, dependent on weather conditions, and nearby Ski Liberty, located in Fairfield, Pa., about 5 miles from Emmitsburg, boasts skiing, snowboarding and more.

Through the years, many Frederick residents have found creative ways close to home to make the most of a snow day. In the 1950s and 1960s, Frederick News Post photographer Frank J. Keefer captured winter memories made by children and adults who lived near Baker Park. Culler Lake was used as an ice skating rink, and Freedom Lane Hill near West College Terrace was used as a sled course.

Longtime Frederick resident Helen Gregory fondly remembers skating on Culler Lake in Baker Park. While attending school at nearby Frederick High School in the late 1960s she said, “We would skate when we could, as part of our physical education class.” She remembered the ice skating as being fun for young and old alike.

“The boathouse would be open and that is where we would put on our skates. There was a big fire in the fireplace, and one could even buy hot chocolate,” Gregory recalled. “Kids brought their hockey sticks and played hockey. I have great memories of playing crack-the-whip and skating out to the fountain in the center of the lake.”

Skating on Culler Lake ceased in later years due to safety concerns.

During his days of photojournalism, Keefer also captured winter life on a farm in the 1950s. The photo in the Historical Society’s collection shows a horse-drawn sleigh pulling five bundled, smiling guests while two people ride and guide the horse.

“The boathouse would be open and that is where we would put on our skates. There was a big fire in the fireplace, and one could even buy hot chocolate.”

Today with more efficient snow-clearing equipment and a faster pace of life than perhaps in the past, it is still fun to slow down, bundle up and take in a snow day in Frederick County, and think about our place in history and what has come before and what is yet to come.

On Jan. 18, 1840, about 175 years ago, Frederick city diarist Jacob Englebrecht was observing a frozen wonderland at 1 o’clock in the afternoon when he wrote, “The weather for the last 17 days has been intensely cold. Our hydrant has been frozen (from cellar to kitchen) since the second instant. The creek next to our yard has been frozen over for several days and the boys today are skating and sliding on it in fine style.”

For more information on how Frederick residents lived through the years, visit the Museum of Frederick County History at 24 E. Church St., Frederick.

Experience Authentic International Cuisine Along the Golden Mile

by Michelle Kershner, City of Frederick Department of Economic Development Stretching toward the mountains, the Golden Mile is a major retail district in Frederick.

Representing a portion of the historic National Road, it naturally connects Downtown Frederick with points westward, such as Braddock Heights and Middletown.

Locals flock to this corridor, also known as U.S. Route 40, for its retail stores and services, but insiders know that tucked inside the shopping centers, diners can find some of the most delicious and authentic international cuisine in the region.

“Nearly half of all establishments along the Golden Mile are associated with retail trade,” said Economic Development Manager Bobby Baumler.

“Additionally, accommodation and food services represent nearly one-third of all employment in this area, a strong indication that people are heading to the Golden Mile to dine.”

Amid the numerous strip-style shopping centers, standalone specialty stores and authentic international cuisine can be found. From freshly baked breads and sweets at La Colmenita Bakery to international grocery stores, flavors from across the globe can be found along the Golden Mile. Diners can try Pho TNT’s banh mi, a crusty Vietnamese-style sandwich, Peruvian-style chicken at Sardis Pollo a La Brasa, warm naan bread and butter chicken at Clay Oven, or gyoza and sushi at Roppongi.

Established in 1987, Casa Rico has been an anchor on the western end of the corridor for decades with gourmet tacos, tequila and traditional Mexican favorites such as chile rellenos. Fajita Grande offers up fresh salsa with its sizzling platters, and Santa Rosa restaurant and Ana’s Papuseria serve pupusas, a traditional Salvadoran dish made of thick, handmade corn tortillas. On select summer nights, a taco truck parks at Dutrow’s Sales & Service at the end of the Golden Mile, and dishes up favorites such as tongue tacos and tamales.

WINTER 2015

business

The Golden Mile could very well be dubbed the “International Mile” for the corridor’s concentration of global flavors and offerings.

“The authentic international food scene on the Golden Mile is exploding,” said Justin Kiska, president of the Golden Mile Alliance and owner of Way Off Broadway, a theater company located just off the main drag. “These gems are tucked into traditional shopping centers, and new places are opening all the time. We recently welcomed Modern Asia Bar & Restaurant to our dining scene.”

Traditional favorites also have flourished on the Golden Mile over the years. The Barbara Fritchie Restaurant has been serving home-cooked meals since 1910. This retro diner features comfort foods and freshly baked desserts.

Nearby, Il Forno Pizzeria has served its famed wood-fired pizza for more than 18 years.

For more than six decades, Red Horse Steak House has been considered a family dining tradition for its openflamed grilled steaks and seafood. Doc Geiser’s Carryout & Catering creates famous fried chicken and homemade side dishes, and Mountainview Diner is a local favorite as well.

To learn more about the Golden Mile and business in Frederick, visit www.businessinfrederick.com.

“There is this perception that the Golden Mile is mainly a big-box destination, but small and family businesses, like these restaurants, also thrive alongside the larger retailers and chains,” Baumler explained.

Photography: Courtesy Michelle Kershner

In the City of Frederick, 95% of all businesses are small businesses, and the Golden Mile is no exception. Thanks to business investment, planning and community involvement, this traditional retail corridor’s future is bright. The Golden Mile, along with portions of Downtown Frederick, was recently accepted into Maryland’s Sustainable Communities program, which will open up additional resources. The Golden Mile Alliance, a nonprofit organization comprised of business owners, property owners and residents, also is working to strengthen the thoroughfare.

The Golden Mile Alliance is reviving Pangaea, a festival celebrating heritage and diversity, with the next celebration slated for Oct. 4, 2015.

“We are looking forward to bringing back this cultural event,” Kiska said, with international cuisine featured prominently. “Food brings communities together, and it will be a great time to celebrate all that Frederick’s Golden Mile has to offer in this area and others.”

Frederick Real Estate on the Rise It would be obvious to anyone that the City of Frederick is doing well and is expanding rapidly. We’ve seen the rapid growth in this area much like the growth that happened in Montgomery County about a decade ago.

REA L E S TAT E

Living in the Historic District provides an opportunity to enjoy all the amenities that led to Frederick being named one of the country’s “Dozen Distinctive Destinations” and a “Great American Main Street Community” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

New housing developments are being built where there were empty fields before. Many of us can remember the open farmland off Md. Route 26, where Wegman’s, Lowe’s and many other shops and restaurants now exist. Carroll Creek’s growth and plans for continued development will help expand the downtown shopping and restaurant experience as well.

All the things that make Downtown Frederick so appealing to visitors also make it appealing to residents and homebuyers. Living in the Historic District provides an opportunity to enjoy all the amenities that led to Frederick being named one of the country’s “Dozen Distinctive Destinations” and a “Great American Main Street Community” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Downtown Frederick’s Historic District is its own world within the greater Frederick County market, and often shows quite different trends with long-term positive results. For example, the Historic District stayed relatively strong compared to the rest of the county in the recent downturn of 2008 through 2011, with far fewer foreclosures and short sales, as well as little turnover - all signs of a strong market.

The Maryland Group of Long & Foster is involved with two upcoming projects in the downtown area. The first is Baker Park Estates, a group of new homes in one of the oldest sections of the city. The second is the Coca-Cola building project on North Market Street, now in planning stages, which will help bridge downtown with expanded development on Route 26.

– Matthew Burroughs, Realtor

The Historic District is bound, roughly, by 7th Street to the north, Mount Olivet Boulevard and Mount Olivet Cemetery to the south, Bentz Street to the west (including Baker Park and several blocks of West Patrick Street), and by East Street on the east. A map of the Historic District can be found at www.cityoffrederick.com/maps.

As with most desirable areas with little turnover, Frederick’s Historic District could sell far more homes than are currently on the market.

Homes in historic districts throughout the state typically hold their values better than surrounding areas, and Frederick is no different.

From an investment point of view, residential properties in the downtown area are an excellent choice, particularly those on streets that are transitioning and have many homes that are being restored or rehabbed.

Frederick County’s Newest Schools

Fulfilling the Promise of Public Education

By Dr. Terry Alban, Superintendent, Frederick County Public Schools

Frederick is Maryland’s largest county. We live in a vibrant and growing region with a premier school system that serves more than 40,000 students. Our students consistently outpace their Maryland and nationwide peers on SAT and Advanced Placement results.

Highly qualified teachers, supported with technology and facility updates, help our students achieve success, through programs such as the Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) Technology Now initiative. Four major building projects are slated to also deliver important instructional opportunities to the county’s children. They are: 28

WINTER 2015

Frederick High, North Frederick Elementary, Sugarloaf Elementary and a soon-to-be-named elementary school in the City of Frederick near Butterfly Lane and McCain Drive. All but North Frederick Elementary, which opened this school year, are scheduled, based on BOE-requested funding, to open in August 2017.

Frederick High (FHS) is our county’s oldest high school building—but not for much longer! Built in 1939 and added to numerous times, FHS is slated for complete replacement. Construction will begin in July. During construction, the current building will remain open.

After the new school is complete, the current building will be demolished to

The new FHS will have about 270,500 square feet, designed for 1,600 students. It will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design— LEED—silver certification standards.

The new North Frederick Elementary (NFES) opened this school year and subsequently the old structure was demolished in preparation to add muchneeded parking and athletic fields. The new two-story school has about 93,600 square feet and opened with LEED silver certification. With a 725-student capacity, the new school represents the most recent prototype elementary school design for FCPS.

The Sugarloaf Elementary design will mirror the North Frederick Elementary prototype. Construction is planned to start in April 2016. In Urbana, Sugarloaf is expected to relieve crowding at nearby Centerville Elementary and Urbana Elementary.

Construction is also planned, funding permitting, in April 2016 for the new west Frederick city area elementary.

This school will be the third iteration of the FCPS prototype elementary school and will address overcrowding at Hillcrest, Orchard Grove and Waverley Elementary Schools

Train Your Brain to Notice the Good

by Lisa A. McCrohan, MA, LCSW-C, RYT This new year, let’s keep it simple. Instead of coming up with a lofty new year’s resolution, make it your intention to notice the good in your life.

36

WINTER 2015

Maybe your husband drives you crazy by leaving the seat up on the toilet. Maybe your wife corrects you too much and it makes you disengage.

Maybe you have a long commute that leaves you exhausted and angry. Maybe nothing went right for you this morning.

These are the things we usually notice. These are the woes we share with our co-workers, or on social media. But when these woes are noticed, shared and focused on often enough, they become our way of seeing others and our world. And “noticing the negative” can become our way of living.

Health

Just like strengthening any muscle in our bodies, training our brains to notice the good takes time, attention, and intention.

Our brains are wired to notice the negative. You can thank our ancestors for that…it’s how we evolved. When you notice and remember a threat – that means survival. While this reptilian brain of ours is useful when it comes to remembering how to drive in a snow storm, it’s not so good for day to day annoyances. We can engage our more recently evolved “human part” of our brain to notice the good in our lives and create a sense of peace and sweetness as a result.

Here are four practices for training your brain to notice the good:

1 Begin your

4 End your day

day with the good.

with the good.

Before you roll out of bed, pause for one minute. Can you feel that air coming into your body and your lungs expanding?

You are alive and here for another day!

Feel this gift. Notice the good around you: the soft covers, a warm home, hot water for your shower, the way the sunlight filters into your bedroom.

As you lay in bed, recall all the good that you experienced in your day – an unexpected call from a friend, a kind gesture from a co-worker, the vibrancy of the sun on the winter day, the way your child said “mom” or “dad,” the food you ate, and the warmth and love that surrounded you. This soothes the nervous system and readies you for sleep.

2 Notice the good in the mirror.

We have a tendency to really harp on what we don’t like about ourselves.

When you look into the mirror, pause and look at yourself. You’ll want to go down that well-worn neural pathway of “noticing the negative,” but this time, linger for a moment and notice the good about yourself.

3 Find the good in others.

As you go about your day, train your brain to notice the good in others.

Sometimes it’s helpful to make a list.

Every time I do this with clients in psychotherapy or coaching, inevitably the list gets pretty long in a short time.

Just like strengthening any muscle in our bodies, training our brains to notice the good takes time, attention, and intention. But in the moment we decide to notice the good, we are creating new pathways in our brain – pathways of deep peace and contentment, no matter what the day brings.

Lisa A. McCrohan, MA, LCSW-C, RYT is a mom, psychotherapist, yoga teacher, soulful artist, and compassion coach. Her life’s work is about inspiring delight, compassion, and connection in our everyday lives.

The ABCs of Transit: H is for Health

by Adrienne Moretz, TransIT Services of Frederick County Public transportation not only leads to better air quality due to less pollution, but also contributes to many other health-related benefits for individuals.

Studies from the American Public Transportation Association and the Victoria Transport Policy Institute support this concept:

a Individuals who use public transportation benefit from more than three times the physical activity per day than those who don’t (about 19 minutes instead of 6 minutes). This is due to walking to public transportation stops and destinations. Inadequate physical activity contributes to numerous health problems, causing an estimated 200,000 annual deaths in the U.S., and significantly increasing medical costs. Among physically able adults, average annual medical expenditures are 32 percent lower ($1,019 per year) for those who achieve physical activity targets when compared to those who are sedentary ($1,349 per year).

b Riding the bus reduces stress. Public transportation improves access to education and employment, which in turn leads to better longterm economic opportunities. In fact, 12 percent of transit riders are traveling to schools and almost 60 percent are going to work. It also provides access to social and recreational activities, allowing individuals to participate in events they otherwise could not. Furthermore, public transit benefits community cohesion by promoting positive interactions among neighbors.

with disabilities. These services provide access to medical appointments and social trips that would often go missed for these individuals. TransIT Services of Frederick County provided 36,731 paratransit trips in fiscal 2014 via TransIT Plus.

TransIT Plus is a countywide, shared-ride, curb-to-curb paratransit service for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Medical assistance recipients may use the service for medical appointments only, if pre-approved by the Frederick County Health Department. Medical trips are prioritized, and other trips are provided on a space-available basis. Frederick County residents may apply for this service online (https://frederickcountymd.gov/221/TransIT-plus) or by calling 301-600-2065.

Although the health benefits of public transit may seem obvious, you can never understand the true benefit of riding the bus, biking to work, carpooling or using the train until you have tried it for yourself.

c Traffic casualty rates tend to decline as public transit travel increases in a region. Those who live in communities with high use of transit have only about one-quarter the per capita traffic fatality rate as residents of automobile-dependent communities. According to a 2006 report, public transit has 0.03 fatal accidents per 100 million miles — about 1/25th the rate for automobiles; injuries as well as fatalities are reduced.

Anything In Stained Glass

by Rosa Garcia

The beauty of stained glass art is undeniable.

Watch a stained glass window catch a ray of sunlight, and you instantly know why the art form has been around for centuries, decorating churches and other highly regarded buildings. It’s simply majestic.

Now, stained glass is more attainable and studios such as Anything In Stained Glass in Frederick have created a fun way to bring the art to the masses.

“You don’t have to be an artist to create beautiful work,” said co-owner Paula Russin. “You just have to be mechanical. We will help you with everything else.”

Classes are offered for every skill set, but The Fundamentals of Stained Glass workshop invites students to try a little of everything. Each week, attendees learn something new and slightly more difficult, mastering the core concepts of cutting, fitting, foiling and soldering. Here is what is covered during the six-week course:

Week 1: Work with glass globs to create a glob owl

Week 2: Master framing stained glass, using metal channels and put together a planter

Week 3: Assemble a 3-D butterfly box, learn to cut glass straight and use copper foil

Week 4: Fit together pieces of stained glass to create a decorative parrot

Weeks 5 & 6: During these grand finale weeks, learn to make a custom stained glass border for a square mirror.

“We like it when people walk in, we are here to help and want you to relax and enjoy the experience.”

Russin and staff are excited to spread their knowledge.

“Just come in, we will teach you,” she said. “We like it when people walk in, we are here to help and want you to relax and enjoy the experience.”

Filled to the brim with every type of stained glass imaginable, the 9,000 square-foot warehouse stores the glass in a rainbow of colors, swirls and confetti patterns. It is a one-stop shop, where crafters can buy supplies, attend workshops and get advice on projects.

It’s not lessons all the time. Every Wednesday night anyone interested in glass art is invited to attend Cut & Cuss. Scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m., the event is so popular, some folks show up as early as 3 p.m. to participate.

“If you’re not staff, you can get started early. We have to wait until the store closes at 5 p.m.,” says Russin. “We have so much fun, we usually end up ordering dinner and staying as late as 11 p.m.”

Taken literally, at Cut & Cuss, people come together to cut glass, but there is the occasional slip of the tongue, according to Russin. Overall the mid-week get together is about having a good time.

“It’s like hanging out at a coffee shop without the coffee, but then again there is a coffee pot in the kitchen if you want some,” said loyal customer and owner of AM FM Glass Creations Andrea Falzarano. Proudly showing off her custom necklace, she added, “I get everything here: advice, friendship and community. I love everyone that works here.”

WINTER 2015

The book series and the musical follow the story of an unexpected friendship between two very different second graders who bring mischief and laughter to everything they do. The Ivy + Bean books have sold more than 4 million copies and have received a number of accolades. The musical is recommended for ages 4 and older.

On Thursday, Feb. 5, Arlo Guthrie will appear to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his song that changed a generation. Guthrie’s iconic album “Alice’s Restaurant” helped foster a new commitment to social consciousness and activism among the youth of the 1960s.

One week later, an on-the-rise musical blues and soul duo – Fredericks Brown – is set to play at the Weinberg as part of the ongoing Tivoli Discovery Series, designed to showcase rising talent from a variety of musical genres. On Thursday, Feb. 12, Steph Brown, a masterful songwriter and keys player, and Deva Mahal, powerful vocalist, songwriter and daughter of legendary blues musician Taj Mahal, will present music from their latest EP, “Glass House Mountains”, on their first national tour.

BURKITTSVILLE

Burkittsville is a virtually unchanged example of an American townscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the town was a service center for the rural area around it. Today, Main Street’s buildings are still bordered by fields of crops and dairy farms, although there are no longer any commercial establishments in the town. Burkittsville became closely involved with the Civil War when forces of the Union and Confederate armies engaged in the Battle of Crampton’s Gap, a bloody prelude to the Battle of Antietam.

EMMITSBURG

Emmitsburg, a quiet town nestled at the foot of the mountains, offers peace and tranquility. Incorporated in the early 1800s, Emmitsburg was the home of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. She established the first Catholic school in the U.S., that grew into St. Joseph’s College. The property is now home to the National Fire Academy and Homeland Security. A short drive away is Mount Saint Mary’s University. In Emmitsburg you can relax but still be within driving distance to major cities such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Harrisburg. You are just a few miles from the Gettysburg Battlefield, Ski Liberty Resort and numerous golf courses.

Middletown

Middletown is a small, rural community steeped in American history. It is located in the beautiful Middletown Valley that stretches between the Catoctin Mountains on the east and South Mountain on the west. A young Lt. George Washington, while surveying the South Mountain area, reported that the valley to the east was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. Middletown continues to evolve from a settlement of farmers and ranchers to one of tradesmen, craftsmen, businessmen, clergymen, commuters and retired folk—without losing its agricultural roots. From the stately old Victorian-style homes and soaring church steeples to the rustic dairy farms and modern housing developments, residents find in Middletown a refuge where they can enjoy small-town life as it used to be.

Walkersville

Walkersville is a combination of two villages that were settled by German immigrants in the mid 1700s and early 1800s. By the late 1800s, the villages of Georgetown and Walkersville had grown so intertwined that it made sense to combine them into one entity, which was named Walkersville.

Today, Walkersville aggressively pursues fiscal responsibility, recycling projects, and innovation. In 1995, it was credited with having the first State Police bicycle patrol in the nation. There are four schools, residential developments, a shopping center, several businesses and institutions, and numerous restaurants in the town. Walkersville has managed a rapid population growth wisely, enabling it to maintain a friendly, small-town atmosphere.

Woodsboro

Early history suggests that the Woodsboro area was a hunting and trapping ground for a wandering tribe of Susquehanna Indians. From early times, the settlement was located at a crossroads on the Indian trail running from the Chesapeake Bay to the mountains. When the stagecoach became the primary mode of transportation, the place became an important stop on its itinerary. Today, Woodsboro is still primarily an agricultural area, but an important industry is centered on the three lime quarries that border the town.
