On the street where I live
Welcome to Darnestown Maryland. Darnestown is located in the Gaithersburg area of Montgomery County Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC. Darnestown is not incorporated but instead has a Civic Association. The Darnestown Civic Association, with its officers and neighbors, regulate, debate and vote on zoning and development issues that affect the Darnestown area. Even though we are located 20 minutes outside of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the US, it feels like living in a quaint New England Town.
Darnestown was originally settled in 1750 to Irish and Scottish immigrants. Click here for the detailed History.
Every season is has it’s own beauty. Even the Snow of the winter is like a postcard. The spring with all the different blooms, summer spoils us with the beautiful sunsets. Fall in my backyard is like going to New England on a trip to see the trees. I have several maples and they are breathtaking.
The homes are situated on 2+ acre lots; many families have had, and still do, have horses. There are several equestrian trails in the area. I love walking my dog on a nice Sunday morning. You can hear the church bells toll. There is just something so nice about that.
Every spring the Smokey Glen Farms sponsors a neighbor BBQ. Everyone has a blast. In the fall there is a Hoe Down. People get all dressed up and have a good time.
My Husband and I play softball on the Darnestown Coed Softball league. Each neighborhood has a team. There has to be a minimum of 3 women playing on a team. The games are played on Sunday afternoons and let me tell you, they can get pretty competitive sometimes.
I count my blessings to be so fortunate to live in such a fabulous place. If you have thought about moving to the Suburbs of DC, but are enchanted by living in the country, then this is a place for you.
