SANG RUN STATE PARK

Step back in time at Sang Run State Park and the Friends Store. A homestead that dates back to the early 1800s, the original home site, farm and store were single-family owned until the state acquired them in 2008. The store, the center of this small community, was originally used to sell food staples and gas, and trade ginseng to the locals. It also was the post office until the early 1970s. The site was reopened by the Maryland Park Service in 2017. Stop by this gem and explore demonstration gardens, take a hayride, or hike through wildflower meadows. Picnic with your family and take a short walk along the Youghiogheny River. Friends Store hours of operation are 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. every day Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and weekends through mid-October. Be sure to visit our annual Fallfest the last Saturday in September, featuring pumpkin carving, hayrides, cider pressing, and much more!
