Darnestown, Maryland is a wonderful place to live. We are fortunate to have a country setting while still being close to conveniences. There are many activities in and around Darnestown. We have a Co-ed Softball team that plays in the local park. We are minutes from the C&O Canal where canoeing, kayaking and biking are enjoyed. There is a large horse community that has access to wonderful trails in the area and a polo club close by.

The DCA is committed to support diversity, inclusion, and equity within our association and across our community. Discrimination has no place in our community. We encourage civil engagement. We work to facilitate community discussion with local governing officials who make policies. Our job is to welcome a community of different voices where freedom speaks and equal justice is served.

Congressman Trone will talk about the latest updates and experts will join him on the call to help answer your questions about COVID-19

- The DCA will host a virtual ‘Darnestown Town Hall’ meeting this Monday 3/23 @ 7:30 dedicated to the the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.On this call we’ll have an open dialogue with residents on the current state affairs – concerns, needs, and discuss the DCA’s efforts and other volunteer efforts to support our town.

We will follow up separately with other DCA updates that we would have covered in the Town Meeting and will postpone the Thrive Montgomery 2050 presentation for a couple weeks from now.
