Where We Live | History, events connect communities in Maryland town
Main Street is more than the center of business and local history in Mount Airy, Md. It’s where the Frederick-Carroll County line bisects the town and determines where children attend school and how much property taxes residents pay. That invisible demarcation dictates how businesses are licensed and how city officials apply for grants.
Residents don’t consider one side superior to the other, said Vallett, who has lived on the Frederick side for 30 years. Town activities and a sense of camaraderie unite them, he said. “We get tourists from all over the United States, about 10,000 visitors since it opened,” Vallett said. “Mount Airy is a registered historic district. We have a historic sign on Interstate 70. Tourists have said they stopped on their way through town because they saw it.”
Twin Arch Road, the CSX Rail Line and I-70 form the southern border; and West Ridge Drive, Leafy Hollow Circle, Village Gate Drive and the Mount Airy Village West and Westridge sections make up the western edge.
