The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to honor truly

deserving people, living or deceased, of Mount Airy

and the immediate surrounding areas, who by work,

service, volunteerism, word or deed, made the

community a better place for everyone.  Also honored

will be those who were born here and went on to

bring honor and glory to the community by their

efforts, deeds, or life’s work outside of the area.

 By honoring these individuals, it is believed that

their stories will inspire others to greater achievement

and make everyone aware of the fabric that is woven

into our home - Mount Airy, Maryland.
