About Frederick, Maryland:
Frederick, as Maryland’s second largest city, is a wonderful blend of old and new, rich in history, cultural arts, and downtown charm. “Frederick Town” was laid out in 1745 and became the county seat of Frederick County three years later. It is uncertain which Frederick the town was named for, but the likeliest candidates are Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore and Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales. In 1921 the first high school for African-Americans was founded on 170 W. All Saints St. Then, it moved to 250 Madison St. The building is still there but is now known as Lincoln Elementary School (formerly South Frederick Elementary).
Frederick has a bridge covered with a mural called the "Community Bridge". The artist, William Cochran, has been acclaimed for the realism of the painting. Thousands of people sent ideas representing community that appear throughout the stonework of the bridge. One of the most interesting parts of the mural is an angel that appears in perspective if you look at it from the proper angle (the proper angle being the middle window of the second floor of an adjacent building).To the people of Frederick, it is called "mural" or "painted bridge." A weekly carillon recital is played on the Joseph Dill Baker Carillon, each Sunday at Noon for half an hour. The carillon can be heard from anywhere in Baker Park, or the City Carillonneur can be viewed playing in the tower, which is open each week at that time.
Baker Park is the place to be in the summer in Frederick especially for the family 4th of July celebration each year. Frederick has a community orchestra, The Frederick Symphony Orchestra, that performs five concerts per year consisting of classical masterpieces. The city is well-known for the Clustered Spires skyline of its historic downtown buildings. These spires are depicted on the city's seal and many other city-affiliated logos and insignia. The offers musical enrichment programs such as Frederick Regional Youth Orchestra, Frederick Children’s Chorus, and the Frederick Regional Symphonic Band. Frederick is the home of the Maryland Ensemble Theatre, The Weinberg Center for the Arts, and The Frederick Keys, minor league baseball team. Frederick is home to Frederick School of Classical Ballet the official school for Maryland Regional Ballet.
