Olney is also rich in history. A tour of the Sandy Spring Museum will teach you all about your new home town, but the historic influence can be seen in many buildings downtown. Just head to the historic Olney Ale House to see what I mean. The building has been a restaurant/store since 1924 when it opened as The Corner Cupboard, serving everything from baked goods to ice cream to scrapple and sausage. It has gone through many renditions, but became a beer garden back in the 1970s, before taking its current place as the Ale House in 2000.
There are tons of other great local spots in the downtown area. Whether you're sampling sushi at Yoyogi, having a delicious burger at the Sunshine General Store, getting some pad thai at Thai House Restaurant, or sampling any of the other numerous restaurants in town, you'll be falling in love with Olney.

I almost forgot to mention all of the things to do in Washington DC!
