Where in the world is Lovettsville?

 

Lovettsville is nestled against the Potomac River in northwest Loudoun County.  It is 25 miles southwest of Frederick, MD, 20 miles east of Harpers Ferry, WV and 55 miles northeast of Washington, D.C.  Lovettsville is a unique small town that provides a tranquil rural setting, a pleasing view of the Blue Ridge Mountains along with quaint shops and restaurants.  The area is popular for cross country bicycling, wine tours, motorcycle riding, horseback riding, auto and motorcycle rallies, river activities and quiet escapes and exploration.  It is ideally located within easy distance to other distinctive small towns and historic sites in our neighboring states of Maryland, West Virginia and nearby Pennsylvania.  It is a wonderful location for those that want to come home to quiet small town surroundings and for those that are looking for a nice place to visit.

 

Lovettsville is known as “The German Settlement” and was established in 1732.  It is proud of its German heritage which becomes the focal point of the community when it holds its annual three-day Oktoberfest celebration.  The event is held at the end of September and is located in the historic area of Town.  Annual attendance is typically around 4,000 people who have enjoyed the variety of street vendors, the varied entertainment and the tasty German fare.

 

Lovettsville is home of The Lovettsville Business Association (LBA).  The LBA was formed to help area businesses work in a cooperative effort to establish a more dynamic business environment in the Lovettsville area.  It has become a “local business network” which allows various businesses to work together and share opportunities.  LBA is also working closely with Town officials and local volunteers to take advantages of the opportunities that development provides.  The LBA is a resource for visitors, community members and businesses alike.

 

We invite you to visit Lovettsville and experience our rural environment and the exciting activities it offers.  It is a wonderful place to play, live, work or visit!
