Hungerford's Tavern
Hungerford's Tavern was an 18th-century tavern in the settlement that developed into Rockville, Maryland. Located along the road between Georgetown and Frederick, it served travelers and became a center of political and civic activity in the surrounding area. In 1774, local residents met at the tavern and adopted the Hungerford Resolves, one of Maryland's early organized protests against British colonial policies in the period leading to the American Revolution. The tavern also became closely associated with the establishment of Montgomery County's government and the development of Rockville as the county seat. The building traditionally identified as the tavern was demolished in 1913. A historical marker in Rockville commemorates it, at the northwest corner of West Jefferson and South Washington streets.
