About Bayard

Set in the Potomac Highlands along the Maryland border, Bayard is a quiet mountain town where life moves at an easy pace. The community originally grew up as a coal and railroad hub on the North Branch of the Potomac River, and that close-knit, down-to-earth character still defines the area today. Route 90 keeps residents connected to the rest of Grant County, offering a peaceful rural escape surrounded by rugged mountain scenery.
