UniqueVenues
There is no shortage of world-class museums, galleries and music venues in Montgomery County. Top favorites for groups include: Strathmore Music Center and Mansion, AMP by Strath- more, The AFI Silver Theatre, and The Fillmore Silver Spring.
For a truly unique experience (and one not to miss after having a mule-drawn boat ride) befitting off-sites, retreats or team building events, the C&O Canal Trust provides seven fully re- stored, historical lockhouses for up to three nights. Each house sleeps up to eight people - and no two are alike. Every house has a different level of amenities, ranging from electricity only to rustic or modern. The houses and surrounding park grounds also are available for day use if sleeping quarters are too close for comfort.
From here, attendees can explore sites such as Great Falls, the towpath, and Paw Paw Tunnel by biking or walking any of the 185-plus miles along the Potomac.
Also along the C&O Canal and Potomac River, Rockwood Manor Retreats and Events is perfectly suited for executive or wellness retreats, team building events and seminars. The property pro- vides 30-acres of wooded park and a historic 1920s manor house with six flexible meeting spaces. The manor house and grounds are available for buyouts, with a capacity of 120 guests. Attendees can mingle on the wooded patio, break on the sun porch and sip post-meeting cocktails on the veranda. Rockwood Manor also provides custom retreat packages with a variety of guest houses and cabins that each can house a max- imum of 8 to 20 guests.
