Frederick has its own minor league baseball team, the Frederick Keys

Frederick County was established in 1748 and was settled by German settlers. The oldest home in the county is Schifferstadt, which is now a museum and gift shop along Baker Park

Frederick is ideally located at the tip of a triangle with Baltimore and Washington, D.C. and is less than an hour drive from either city with its museums, theaters, attractions and employment centers

Frederick County has over 22,500 acres of parkland

Historic downtown Frederick, New Market and other small towns attract antique lovers and the abundance of good restaurants bring visitors from miles around

Barbara Fritchie (made famous in the poetry of John Greenleaf Whittier) and the medicine of the Civil War are documented in their respective museums on Patrick Street. And the battle of the Monocacy was fought just south of Frederick and saved Washington, D.C. from being burned to the ground!

Hood College, Mt. St. Mary’s College, and Frederick Community College are all outstanding and among the best in the nation!
