Town field notes
Fallston “Horse country at the county's edge”
Fallston is the semi-rural, horse-country corner of southwest Harford County, where white board fences and fieldstone farmhouses line quiet lanes along the Little Gunpowder Falls. It is countryside minutes from Bel Air, and its high school serves one of the largest attendance areas in the county.
The vibe
“Fallston trades strip malls for stone farmhouses, farm stands, and long views of rolling pasture. It feels like the country, yet downtown Bel Air is a quick drive, which is exactly why it draws people who want acreage and quiet without leaving the county's schools and conveniences.”
What Fallston is known for
- Jerusalem Mill Village, a preserved Quaker grist-mill settlement in Gunpowder Falls State Park
- Horse farms and white-board-fence country
- Bon Air, a 1794 stone home with French heritage, on the National Register
