About Gapland

Set along the slopes of South Mountain in southern Washington County, Gapland offers a quiet rural setting surrounded by mountain scenery and rich history. The community grew around the estate of 19th-century journalist George Alfred Townsend, now home to Gathland State Park and its historic stone monuments. With the Appalachian Trail running nearby and quiet country roads winding through the woods, it is a great fit for anyone seeking a peaceful lifestyle immersed in nature.
