Home to just under 1,700 residents, the town that is known as Point of Rocks, Maryland, is an excellent place to buy a home in Frederick County. Most homes are owner-occupied and residents enjoy the quiet, rural ambiance. Adding to the charm of the community is its rich history which includes being home to a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station that was constructed in 1875. This beautiful Victorian station is still used today by MARC passenger trains and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Additional points of interest in Point of Rocks include Point of Rocks Park on Ballenger Creek Pike. This park is open year-round and provides lighted tennis courts, trails, a multi-purpose field, play equipment, picnic tables, horseshoe pits, grills, and lighted basketball courts. Adding to its appeal, particularly for families, there are six schools in the community: two elementary, two middle, and two high schools. These include Carroll Manor Elementary School, Ballenger Creek Middle School, and Tuscarora High School.
Because this well-established community has been around for so long, there are many additional points of historical interest here. An excellent example is the restored Lockhouse 28, which was built in 1837. Today it is part of the Canal Quarters program and you can spend the night here if you like, however you’ll need to fetch water from a campsite in proximity, and there is no electricity. This enables you to experience the Lockhouse just like the keepers of the canal locks did all those years ago. Many of the lockhouses have been restored to reflect different time periods, for example, Lockhouse 29 is now a 1920s living history museum. The Catoctin Aqueduct, Monocacy Aqueduct, Heater’s Island, Indian Flats Campground, Spinks Ferry, and Nolands Ferry are also interesting sites you can explore when you move to Point of Rocks.
