Known as HMAP, the Hyattstown Mill Arts Project operates out of historic Hyattstown Mill located in a rustic country setting near the historic town of Hyattstown, Maryland. The mill is about 25 miles northwest of Washington, DC. in Little Bennett Regional Park. The park is operated by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and is located in northern Montgomery County, Maryland.

HMAP is a membership-based non-profit cultural arts organization dedicated to preserving the cultural and historical heritage of the region. HMAP is part of a close working partnership involving the Montgomery County Government, Little Bennett Regional Park and the Park and Planning Commission and seeks to embrace adjacent areas in nearby Frederick County, Maryland in its service to the greater Hyattstown region. The organization hosts fine art, music, literary, education and outreach activities throughout the year.

The Hyattstown Mill community is saddened by the passing of Chris Rounds. Seldom do we encounter such a gentle spirit as Chris, and when we do we cherish the blessing.

Humble and soft-spoken, Chris would quietly slip into our Song Circle with his modest assortment of drums and drumsticks, then suddenly the room would be vibrantly enlivened with contagious syncopated rhythms and delightful flourishes. He loved people and he loved drumming.

Thank you Chris , you brought so much joy into the world.
