MD 60 begins at an intersection with Northern Avenue, Eastern Boulevard, and Potomac Avenue in the city of Hagerstown. Northern Avenue heads west past
St. Maria Goretti High School. Eastern Boulevard heads east toward the historic home
Rockland Farm. Potomac Avenue heads south toward downtown Hagerstown and becomes Potomac Street, passing through the
Oak Hill and
Potomac-Broadway historic districts and by the
Zion Reformed United Church of Christ and the
Hagerstown Armory. MD 60 heads north as Potomac Avenue, a four-lane
divided highway that soon narrows to a two-lane undivided road. The route leaves the city limits of Hagerstown before reaching a junction with Marsh Pike, which heads north toward the suburbs of
Paramount and Long Meadow. MD 60 continues northeast as Leitersburg Pike through farmland, passing the
Dorsey-Palmer House before crossing Marsh Run. MD 60 crosses
Antietam Creek and passes the
Lantz-Zeigler House before reaching Leitersburg. The state highway intersects the northern terminus of
MD 62 (Little Antietam Road) on the west side of the unincorporated village before curving to the north to bypass the village while Leiter Street, the old alignment of MD 60, continues straight to pass through the
Leitersburg Historic District. North of the village center, MD 60 intersects Leiters Mill Road and the western end of
MD 418 (Ringgold Pike), then curves north and receives the other end of Leiter Street. The state highway starts to parallel Antietam Creek as it reaches its Northern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line. The highway continues north as PA 316 (Wayne Highway) toward the borough of Waynesboro. MD 60 is a part of the
National Highway System as a principal arterial from its southern terminus at Eastern Boulevard in Hagerstown north to Marsh Run. ==History==
