Thurmont is a lovely town in Frederick County, Maryland, located just 10 miles south of the state's Pennsylvania border near the city of Frederick. The city is best known as the home of prestigious Camp David, a major retreat for all United States Presidents throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Visitors can enjoy excellent outdoor recreational opportunities at areas like Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Falls State Park, which sit on the side of beautiful Catoctin Mountain. Each year, the city hosts the delightful Catoctin Colorfest arts and crafts festival, which draws more than 125,000 attendees each year.
