The Liberty Road VFC is located in the northwestern corridor of Baltimore County, Maryland at 10010 Liberty Road, Randallstown, approximately 6 miles from I-695.

The Company was founded in 1947 by members of our local community. Over the past sixty plus years the area has evolved from rural to suburban density. The community now contains numerous apartments and extended care facilities, mercantile structures, municipal and state service and park facilities, schools, in addition to various large and small rock quarries and a major reservoir that services Baltimore City.
