The restaurant is well lit and fun - nicely
decorated and obviously well-maintained. The folks that work there obviously like the restaurant. The staff was very
welcoming and friendly. The food was great with great prices, and a large
parking lot – right off Rte 15. We look forward to returning soon.
Earlier Caroline had played in a Westminster
Municipal Band concert in the Thurmont Memorial Park, just off 116 East Main
Street, Thurmont, MD 21788, at the Thurmont Trolley Park. The band concert was great – and enjoyed by many folks
from around town who came out on a beautiful Sunday evening to enjoy the music.
We really liked the 1.3-acre park. It was
well maintained and picturesque. It is obvious that Thurmont loves the park –
and that folks enjoy it. The park comes complete with a bubbling stream that
runs through the park – not far from a memorial pavilion that honors local
folks who have served in the military and fought in a nation’s wars to maintain
the freedoms and quality of life we enjoy. It was a great evening, and we look
forward to returning to Thurmont.
The Thurmont Trolley Park. We were intrigued about the
Trolley Trail Park. According to the Thurmont website, “The Thurmont Trolley
Trail is a .8 mile trail installed over the former trolley tracks that serviced
Thurmont in the 1900’s.
“The Town of
Thurmont also acquired and displays one of the trolley cars that was once
utilized in Thurmont’s history. The building that was once used to house all
the electrical components that operated the trolley sits at the beginning of
the trail on East Main Street.
“The Town of
Thurmont and the Thurmont Lions Club has installed murals on the building
depicting the history of Thurmont...
“From 1908 to 1954,
Thurmont was the "end of the line" for the trolley system that
traveled from Frederick to Thurmont. During its hay day in the 1920's, the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway (H &F) carried 3.8 million people per
year.
“However, with
great strides in the world of transportation, the demands for the trolley
dwindled and the H&F made its final trip to Thurmont in 1954 and the tracks
were removed. The existing trail begins at the historical trolley car and
promotes a glimpse at Thurmont’s historical transportation services. Today, the
trail is heavily used by residents and visitors for hiking, jogging, biking,
and enjoying nature.”
It was a great
evening, and we look forward to returning to Thurmont. https://goo.gl/maps/o1SsDQQoxCfWduqf9
