Islamic Society of Western Maryland
The Islamic Society of Western Maryland (ISWMD), located in Hagerstown, Maryland,[1] is a mosque which was the first permanent structure to be built specifically to serve as a mosque in Western Maryland. The mosque was built in 1994, after the attached, American Revolutionary War-era home proved to be insufficient to accommodate the growing community.
