Town of Mountain Lake Park

at 301 G Street, Oakland

Mountain Lake Park Historic District is a national historic district in Mountain Lake Park, Garrett County, Maryland. It consists of a group of 145 buildings lying within the town, which was launched in the 1880s as a summer resort and important as a center of the Chautauqua movement in Maryland. The district still includes many of the houses built by summer residents of town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, built in various interpretations of the "Country Gothic" or Rural Queen Anne styles. Also within the district are several of the educational and recreational buildings constructed by the Mountain Lake Park Association, the Methodist-led group which owned and managed the town for many years after its founding in 1881.

Return to the past as you visit two floors of exhibits in the new Garrett County Transportation Museum.  The first floor features carriages, sleighs, buggies, fire department artifacts and automobiles, along with a representation of A.D. Naylor’s Blacksmith Shop, one of the earliest and most prominent businesses in Oakland.  The second floor called the Deep Creek Gallery, hosts a variety of exhibits documenting the history of Deep Creek Lake and nearby Maryland State Parks of Herrington Manor, Swallow Falls, New Germany and Deep Creek. Displays include an original Garrett County sailboat produced by Gordon Douglass Boat Company in the 1950s, Garrett County’s first snowmobile dating from the 1960s and Buddy L Model T Fords -— the popular steel toys that rolled off the assembly line in the early 1920s. In the near future, educational programming is planned for a community room in the gallery and a media ready room will host lectures, presentations, meetings and other events.
