AREA OVERVIEW

With its proximity to Washington D.C. and Patuxent River Naval Air Station, it's no wonder Leonardtown's stock is on the rise, with experts predicting a surge in population over the next decade. Leonardtown offers residents many attractions and historic sites, including the Port of Leonardtown Public Park, truly one of Maryland's hidden gems. The park offers scenic canoeing and is home to a winery as well, to say nothing of the many exotic species of birds (including bald eagles and orioles) that call the park their home. Leonardtown's downtown offers shoppers and entertainment seekers many options, none finer than the monthly First Friday celebrations in which local businesses, galleries, bars and eateries offer specials and open their doors to live musicians and performing artists.
