Frederick's Historic District stretches from East Street to Bentz Street, and from 7th Street in the North to Maryland School for the Deaf.  In the Historic section, you'll see Federal style houses dating from the 18th century, many restored to their former splendor.  (Map of Historic District)

The revitalization that has been going on in Frederick City for the last 2 decades has made the downtown area a very desirable location.  The Historical Society has done an excellent job of maintaining the integrity of our 18th and 19th century architectural heritage.  To see my Interactive Google Map of Future Downtown Development.

The Carroll Creek Linear Park, born out of the flood of 1972, was inspired by Riverwalk of San Antonio. 

"To create a creekside park through historic Frederick Maryland, providing unique opportunities for commercial, residential, cultural, and recreational development, enhancing the quality of life for the entire Frederick community." (1991 Carroll Creek Master Plan)

The Park which runs the length of Carroll Creek from the top of Baker park to the other side of East Street, was a 20+ year project, which officially opened June 21, 2004.  Some of the future plans include brick pedestrian paths, Sailboat Pond, additional water features, landscaping, benches and a bridge at Wisner Street.
