Rockville, Maryland, USA

Rockville was once a country summer retreat for Washington D.C. residents. The country road and rail service has been replaced by an unbroken string of stores and restaurants and a subway line into D.C. This busy suburb is the county seat for Montgomery County, Maryland. You will not consider this modern urban city to be a QuaintPlace, especially on weekdays when you will find heavy traffic. But, Rockville has the gravesite of F. Scott Fitzgerald and a grand old mansion, and the historical society has an interesting site.

If you are planning a visit here, be sure to check out the many other interesting spots nearby in Montgomery County, Maryland and Washington D.C.

Why shop online?

Prices and selection are often better from these Web sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many of them offer free packing and shipping to
your door or to your gift recipient. So, you can save time, gas, and
money. Merchant sites must meet high security standards to advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did you know?

When you place an order from these merchants, they contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These commissions do not increase
the cost of your purchases. Only purchases made within a few days
after your initial "click" to their sites generate commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)

These commissions, plus sales of our own photos and cards, are
necessary to help defray the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently operates at a loss.

Your purchases will help us provide more information and photos about
quaint places.
