Renaissance, the Meyersdale Area Historical Society, and the
Somerset County Rails-to-Trails Association.
Meyersdale Renaissance
also administers the community’s Main Street
program, serving as a resource to local businesses and investors and
promoting downtown Meyersdale through special events and regional
marketing efforts. Meyersdale Renaissance is leading a comprehensive
community revitalization program that includes an extensive
streetscape project that that will improve sidewalks, signs,
parking, landscaping, bicycle accommodations, and streetlights
throughout the downtown. To learn more about Meyersdale Renaissance
and the Main Street program, visit

The Meyersdale Area Historical Society is responsible for the
restoration of the Western Maryland Railway Station at the
Meyersdale trailhead along the Great Allegheny Passage. The
beautifully restored station serves as a welcome center, complete
with local merchandise, memorabilia, and artifacts.
The Somerset County Rails-to-Trails Association (SCRTA) has been
instrumental in completing the trail in Somerset County and
structures such as the Big Savage Tunnel, Salisbury and Keystone
viaducts, and most recently the Bollman Bridge. SCRTA’s work to
complete the trail was pivotal in Meyersdale’s ability to access the
trail market.
