The mill at Hyattstown was built in 1798. At the time of the town's founding,the miller was George Wolfe, Sr., who had taken over the mill when William Richards died, Mr. Wolfe purchased the mill site in 1807 and sold the property to Benjamin Waters and Frederick Baker for $5,000. In 1814, Baker operated the mill until 1872 when he sold it to Ortho Norris and wife, Sarah. They sold the property to William Farrer, who made substantial improvements to the mill over the next five years. It was a two-run flour mill and sawmill, with one employee and an output of 6,000 bushels of meal and 35,000 feet of lumber annually, valued at $4,125.00

Frederick County's original brewpub. Contemporary American regional cuisine and wood-fired pizza oven complement fresh beer brewed on premises along with other craft beer. Brewer’s Alley’s location at 124 North Market Street is steeped in Frederick history. The first residents of Frederick held a lottery to raise money to build a town hall and market house on this location in 1765, which was completed in 1769. This structure served its purpose for over 100 years and was witness to the birth of Frederick as a city. The Market House spanned the Civil War, including the ransoming of the city by Confederate General Jubal Early. Also, remembered as the old Frederick Opera House, this building hosted speeches by presidents and presidential candidates. Reservations.

The 3700 acres that is Little Bennett Regional Park used to be agricultural and mercantile land. The park landscape contains natural and built features and clues to former communities of people and occupations whose histories tell a story. As early as the 18th century, the Little Bennett Valley was the scene of agriculture and small-scale industries capitalizing on the region’s abundant resources of timber, water, vegetation and vast acreage for farming. Like all of Montgomery County, Little Bennett land included plantations and industries that used forced chattel slave labor as the economic engine of their success. Several grist mills, a sumac mill, a sawmill, a saw and bone mill, and a whisky manufactory were established at various times along the Little Bennett Creek. Only the Hyattstown Mill remains as testimony to those early enterprises. The valley’s steep and rocky slopes were not particularly encouraging as a soil type for farming, but tobacco was cultivated in this area much later than other areas of the county, even into the 20th century, when most of the county had shifted to grains. Around the close of the 19th century, a small rural community was established in the valley. It was named Kingsley after the King Family, who were prominent in the area, and was colloquially known as Froggy Hollow. The last remaining vestige of that settlement is a one-room schoolhouse now open to the public on a limited basis.

Inside the entrance to Mt. Olivet Cemetery is the Francis Scott Key monument. The author of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814 which became our national anthem in 1931, Key was born in 1779 in Frederick County. In 1800 he established his first law office in Frederick. Key died in Baltimore at age 63 in 1843. After the Civil War, his body was reinterred here to Mt. Olivet Cemetery. In the 1890s, money was raised to build a monument to Key and in 1898 this monument and statue, sculpted by Italian artist Pompeo Copini, was dedicated. Key, his wife, and one of their children are buried under this monument and grave. A brochure near the cemetery’s restrooms is available to guide you through the rest of the cemetery.

Graceham Moravian Church and Parsonage is a historic church building and parsonage. It is a two-story Flemish bond brick church built in 1822, and covered with white stucco because of deteriorated masonry. The church was built as an addition to the adjacent meeting house and parsonage built in 1797. This building and the church's cemetery having uniform flat gravestones (called God's Acre by the Moravians) represents Maryland's only remaining 18th century Moravian settlement.
