In Northern Maryland, the lovely Frederick County is bounded by Virginia to the southwest, the Monocacy River to the northeast, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west, and Pennsylvania to the north. It is comprised of a piedmont region divided into north and south sections by the Monocacy Valley. It is a naturally beautiful place with a rich history, having been created in 1748. Today Frederick County offers prospective homebuyers an extraordinarily diverse real estate market with the perfect blend of country and city landscapes. Within the county, there are many stunning parks and picturesque communities rich with historic and historical points of interest. Among the many remarkable Frederick County communities, the town of Emmitsburg, Maryland is worth your consideration.
Settled in the 1780s, Emmitsburg lies in proximity to the Pennsylvania border, only twenty-three miles north-northeast of the city of Frederick. The town has been home to many intriguing and significant occurrences, including being the place where the Sisters of Charity’s first American chapter was founded in 1809, and being home to the nation’s first parochial school which was founded by the first Native American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Nearby is the second oldest Catholic college in the nation, Mount St. Mary’s University, which was founded in 1808. These are only a handful of the many unique facts in Emmitsburg’s past. In addition to this rich history, the town also boasts a long list of impressive attractions. Among the many destinations you will want to explore, are the National Fire Heritage Center, the Frederick County Fire & Rescue Museum, the Fallen Firefighters Memorial, and the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
