The towns of Gaithersburg and Germantown contain many of the main attractions in Montgomery County, Maryland. Gaithersburg was established in 1878 and the small town has grown from a rural farming community to an urban city with many high-tech headquarters based there.

Neighboring Germantown still retains some of its small-town charm although it is quickly growing as well. The area has many parks, orchards, and other outdoors experiences such as Butler’s Orchard, Bohrer Park, and Great Seneca Valley Stream Park. There are also arts centers, galleries, farms, markets, and museums worth exploring as well as a wealth of restaurants and shopping venues.
