Gorman, MD

Gorman is a tiny, quiet community tucked along the North Branch of the Potomac River in southern Garrett County, Maryland. Sitting right on the West Virginia border, this rural village is home to fewer than a hundred residents who enjoy wide-open mountain landscapes and a peaceful, slower pace of living. The surrounding area is rich with regional history, including the nearby Civil War earthworks at Fort Pendleton, while the river itself offers great spots for fishing and quiet days by the water. With quick access to Route 50, locals can easily explore neighboring mountain towns and state forests while coming home to a secluded corner of western Maryland.
