Not All Furnitureis Created Equal...

Country Home Furniture is open Monday and Friday 10-7,Tuesday through Thursday 10-5, and Saturdays 9-5.

The entire complex at Shady Maple is closed on Sundays.

Located at the world famous Shady Maple Complex

Visitors coming to Lancaster County from the Washington Metro area love toexperience the serenity of days gone by. Part of this experience includes the deliciousfoods of the area, and the handcrafted products of furniture artisans. One place that

offers both is the world famous Shady Maple complex.

When Shady Maple Smorgasbord moved into a larger building across the parking lot morethan a decade ago, the former restaurant building became home to one of the largest and bestfurniture stores in the Lancaster area, Country Home Furniture. According to management,“We like to think we’re helping to preserve a little piece of America’s furniture-making

history. Our craftsmen are steeped in tradition. Theydeeply care about their work.”

On two floors and 30,000 square feet of selling space in their retail store, you will find eightmanufacturers of American-made sofas and recliners, made in North Carolina, Ohio andMississippi, in addition to over 30 manufacturers of solid wood dining, bedroom, office,occasional and entertainment… and the area’s largest selection of Amish furniture. The woodpieces come from American handcrafters and Amish builders in Ohio, Indiana and right here inLancaster County.

With hundreds of stylish products in traditional, transitional, modern and country looks on thefloor, there is something for everyone. “Amish built furniture and quality go hand-in-hand. As

far as American handcrafters in the hardwood and upholstery industries, their knack for getting their styles to mesh with today’sbuyer is second to none. No one builds better, more stylish furniture than American furniture makers.”

Unlike other stores where your only choices of the style or color or wood is what you see, at Country Home Furniture you canhave a hand in every facet of your design. That’s the beauty of shopping there. Customerslove the flexibility to have a piece made for them by selecting the wood, stain, hardware andfabric. “We sincerely encourage you to experience this for yourself. We love to give ourcustomers an opportunity to engage in the fascinating process of getting exactly what’swanted in the style, shape, size and color desired. It’s distinctive furniture, made for you,your way. It’s fun, and it’s easy to select what you want.”

Why shop now? “We have all kinds of special pricing deals and delivery specials going onright now that we can pass along to our customers.” The retailer ships and delivers tocustomers’ homes and businesses all over the country.“Our following is not just the localcrowds from Lancaster, Berks and Chester. We are delivering furniture several days a weekto our customers in Maryland, Virginia and D.C.”

If beautiful, quality, brand new, solid wood, American handcrafted furniture are important to you, then you owe it to yourself toexplore Country Home Furniture. As they like to say, it’s worth the drive to the countryside of Lancaster County.

GERMANTOWNGermantown’s roots reach back to the 1800s,

when farming was the way of life where housingdevelopments stand today.

The not-quite-a-town got its name from thelarge number of German business owners whosettled in the crossroads area of Clopper Roadand Md. 118 in the 1830s and 1840s, according to

historian Susan Soderberg, author of “A History ofGermantown, Maryland.”

Although most of the area’s farmers and land-owners were English, travelers and visitors remem-bered the accents of the shopkeepers, who were amix of German immigrants and also from Germansettlements in Pennsylvania, and began to call the

area “Germantown.”Since 1974, the Germantown population has

been growing by about 2,000 people per year, andduring the past decade it was the fastest-growingarea of Montgomery County.

The community’s 2010 population was about86,400.

POOLESVILLEPoolesville is on the northwestern edge of the county between the Potomac

River to the west and farmland to the east. It covers 2,375 acres.Poolesville first began to take shape when two brothers from Anne Arundel

County, John Poole Sr. and Joseph Poole Sr., purchased 160 acres in the area in1760. In 1793, John Poole Jr. built a two-room log store on 15 acres given to him

by his father and sold parcels to other merchants, including a tailor, tanner andtavern owner; and Poolesville was born.

The town was incorporated in 1867. The residents — about 5,800 — share anappreciation for the town and its simple way of life, yet opinions differ about itsfuture growth potential.

Developed in the late 1960s, itcovers 2,500 acres that were once

farmland.TheMontgomeryVillageFoundation is a nonprofit organiza-tion that services one of the largestplanned communities in the country.

It includes 10 homes corporations,11 condominiumassociations, fourapartment complexes and the Poplar

Spring subdivision.The foundationmaintains parks, recreation centersand some roadwithin the village.

It has a roughly $7.5million bud-get, which comesmostly fromhome-owner assessments and fees collectedfrom recreational programs.

The foundation is governed bya nine-member board of directorswhosemembers serve three-yearterms.

The president and vice presidentare selected annually and serve one-year terms

The city of Gaithersburg continues to functionthanks to the hardwork of various people, fromits roughly 250 full-time city staff to the countlessresidents who volunteer to serve the city.

The 10-square-milemunicipality in the centerofMontgomery County can be called a high-techbusiness hub. It also is the home of OldeTowne, ahistoric downtown area featuring shops, offices andrestaurants that is undergoing a revitalization effort.

Before it was Gaithersburg, residents called thearea LogTown. In 1802, BenjaminGaither built ahouse and several retail establishments at FrederickandDiamond avenues.

The town’s namewas changed shortly thereafter.TheGaither family also helped to bring the railroadto the city in the 1850s. Gaithersburg’s 2010 popula-tionwas 59,933, giving it the fourth-highest popu-lation inMaryland, according to theU.S. Census

Bureau.The city, whichwas incorporated in 1878, oper-

ates under a council-manager formofmunicipalgovernment.

The citymanager is appointed by the five-mem-ber city council and serves as a city employee.Themanager acts as the city’s chief executive officer andanswers to themayor and council concerning cityaffairs.

Themayor and city council are elected officialswho serve staggered four-year terms.Themayorserves as the president of the city council and offersinput without voting on the issues.

Othermunicipalities aroundGaithersburg in-cludeWashingtonGrove, with a population of 555 atthe edge of East DiamondAvenue, and Laytonsville,an incorporated townwith a population of about350 north of Gaithersburg.

The original full name ofWashingtonGrovewastheWashingtonGrove CampMeeting Associationof theDistrict of Columbia andMaryland, reflectingthe town’s founding as an outdoor religious summercamp.Washington probablywas chosen becausethemajority of the peoplewho founded the campwere fromWashington, D.C., churches, and“grove”was chosen to advertise thatmeetingswould takeplace in a place filledwith trees.

Laytonsville was established in 1789 on a tractof land granted to James Brooke. It originally wasknown as Cracklintown, named after the popularcracklin bread—bacon corn bread— that wasbaked locally.

Laytonsville received its name after the localpost officewasmoved to John Layton’s saddle shop.The townwas incorporated as amunicipality in1892.

CLARKSBURG

The history of Damascus is depict-ed in its farms, churches and schools.

The town began as a crossroads ona hill.

A historicmarker near theMeth-odist Education Center onMain Streetrecognizes the original land grant of

1,101 acres, patented byMatthewPig-man onApril 13, 1774, but historicalrecords indicate therewas activity inthe areawell before the 18th century.

The nameDamascus is a biblicalreference.The first officialmention ofDamascuswas in 1816, when Ed-

wardHughes received congressionalapproval for a postal route throughtown. Ridge Road (Md. 27) was partof the SusquehannaTrail that begannear what now isHarrisburg, Pa., andwound along the hilltops to SenecaCreek.

Damascuswas incorporatedfor about 25 years in the early 20thcentury.The community’s populationnow exceeds 30,000.

Neighboring communities includeBoyds andHyattstown, as well asClarksburg.

The town’s first settler,WilliamClarke, saw a crossroads south ofFrederick brimmingwith potential.

Working out of his wagon inthe 1730s, the peddler fromLan-caster County, Pa., set up shop at thewooded intersection of twomajorindian trails.

There he swapped trinkets for furshe could send to Europe’s wealthymarkets. As traffic picked up in thearea, an entrepreneur namedMichaelA. Dowden sawhis fortune.

He built a 17-roomhotel andtavern in 1754 near Clarke’s post.Lt. GeorgeWashington andBritishGen. Edward Braddockwould stayat Dowden’s in 1775 for three days—while soldiers camped on the snow-blown hillsides—on theirmarchtoward Fort Duquesne.

The town takes its name fromClarke’s son, John, who in the early1790s surveyed the town and laid itout in lots, including“villages” forindustries such as tanning and black-

smithing.In 1800, Clarke became the town’s

first postmaster.Throughout the years, the “e”was

dropped from the family name andthe town becameClarksburg. By 1850,Clarksburgwas the third-largest city inMontgomery County, behind Rock-ville and Poolesville.

The townwas boomingwith fourgeneral stores, two hotels, a schooland even its own band, accordingto local author and historian Susan

Soderberg.Clarksburg began to decline in

importance after the 1880s, when theBaltimore andOhio rails laid a pathfor the Brunswick line that bypassedClarksburg and ran through nearbyBoyds, fourmiles away.

After the turn of the century, hotelsand industries began to close.

Clarksburg is undergoingmajordevelopment.The population isexpected to grow to about 40,000 by2025.
