Explore Rockville landmarks using the site operator and city history resources before planning a visit. Check access directly rather than relying on the former article's unsourced addresses, opening hours or conflated founding dates.

Glenview Mansion and the Civic Center
Use the city's Glenview Mansion page for the historic site, gallery and visitor information. Check closure notices before visiting or photographing the grounds rather than assuming they are always available.
Courthouse Square and other historic buildings
The city historic-district inventory distinguishes courthouse buildings and the county-seat history. Read the identified building record rather than applying a county founding date to the Red Brick Courthouse.
Other places named in the original guide
St. Mary Catholic Church, Rockville Town Square, the B & O station, Beall-Dawson House and Rockville Cemetery were also discussed in the earlier guide. Check each operator's visitor information and historical account before relying on an old itinerary. Do not assume a site is open or offers tours from its inclusion in a list.

Frequently asked questions
May I assume Glenview Mansion is open whenever I visit?
No. Check the city visitor information and closure notices first, including any restrictions affecting the grounds or photography.
Why should courthouse dates be checked by building?
Different buildings and the county-seat history are separate subjects. Use the city inventory for the particular building instead of conflating their dates.
