About Ellerslie

Ellerslie is a quiet mountain community tucked along Wills Creek in western Maryland, right up against the Pennsylvania border. Framed by Little Allegheny Mountain on one side and Wills Mountain on the other, the town sits in a scenic, sheltered valley with plenty of natural beauty. It was originally named after the Scottish birthplace of William Wallace, and that heritage adds a bit of charm to what is today a relaxed, close-knit residential enclave.
