| Additional Notes | Buckingham’s Choice in Adamstown, MD is set in the midst of peaceful farmland complete with a pond, nature paths, and mountain views. Yet the vibrant city of Frederick is just minutes away with its celebrated dining, quaint and unique shops, art, culture, and pathway along Carroll Creek. Close to Montgomery County, this is a region of covered bridges and history, with Antietam battlefield nearby. It is also within easy reach of major urban destinations such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C. |
