About This Hub
All Things Emmitsburg is an independent community hub for Emmitsburg, Maryland — a directory, calendar and history archive for a town of about 2,770 people (Maryland Manual; Wikipedia gives 2,776) at the foot of the Catoctin Mountains.
What it is
- A free, searchable directory of Emmitsburg businesses, trades, churches, schools and organizations — every listing submittable and correctable by its owner.
- The town calendar, built around Heritage Day and the year's recurring events, with a free submit-an-event form.
- A credited history archive — original summaries, disagreements shown, sources named.
- A companion to the "Emmitsburg, MD - What's happening?" Facebook group, where the town talks day to day.
What it is not
This is not the official Town of Emmitsburg website. The Town's site is emmitsburgmd.gov (Town Office, 300A S Seton Ave, (301) 600-6300). Nothing here speaks for the Town, Frederick County, FEMA, or any business listed.
How listings work
Listings were compiled from public sources — the Town's published business list, the Emmitsburg Business & Professional Association, organizational websites and public map data — and are being confirmed business by business. If a detail about your organization is wrong, use Add a Business to claim and correct it; corrections are reviewed and applied by a person.
