Beaver Creek, Maryland, USA

This small hamlet near Hagerstown and the old National Pike is particularly quaint and scenic. The garden shop/gift shop is top notch and well known to locals. Doubs Mill and several other old stone structures are currently residences. The Coopers Shed, beside the mill is a nice little shop with quilts, pottery, etc. Beaver Creek was founded by Doubs, who later founded Funkstown, and the influence of the early German settlers is still evident here.
