Oakland is the county seat of Garrett County, just a short hop to the source of the Potomac River and the skiing and outdoor fun of Wisp Resort at Deep Creek Lake, the largest inland body of water in the state of Maryland. St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Oakland is known as “The Church of Presidents” because four presidents attended services there. HGI’s Oakland store is located at 223 North Third Street, not far from Garrett Regional Medical Center.
