Tyrone, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyrone, Maryland is a "rural village" in Carroll County, Maryland, United States, located along Maryland Route 832, the Old Taneytown Road, in the vicinity of the Meadow Branch of Big Pipe Creek.[1] Tyrone is part of the "Old Main Streets Scenic Byway, a 111-mile, three-to-four-hour adventure from Emmitsburg east to the City of Westminster, south to Mount Airy, west to Thurmont, before heading back north to Emmitsburg."[1] Tyrone is located at about the halfway point on the road between Taneytown and Westminster.[2]
The major landmark in Tyrone is Emmanuel Baust Lutheran Church.[3][4] The church community dates to 1765, when it was founded by German immigrants on land donated by farmer Valentine Baust.[5] The current building, the third house of worship built on the site and a structure used by multiple denominations, was dedicated in 1908.[6][5]
