Historic Downtown Frederick

Reviewed By rrininger2018 - Frederick, United States

Went to a show at the Weinberg Center which was a comedy show that was awesome. Before the show we walked Market St. and di some shopping and stopped into Wags, a local bar and restaurant that makes great burgers, soup, fries, etc. Downtown Frederick has adequate parking and a lot of good restaurants and shops that you can walk to. Carroll Creek is also worth visiting. It's all well worth a visit.

Barbara Fritchie House

Reviewed By 203frederickt - Frederick, United States

This site is where Barbara Fritchie's (alleged) encounter with Stonewall Jackson occurred. "Shoot if you must this old gray head, but spare your country's flag." Investigate some little known facts, and then decide for yourself if the legend is true or not.
