Maryland Route 67 (MD 67) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Rohrersville Road, the state highway runs 12.20 miles (19.63 km) from U.S. Route 340 (US 340) in Weverton north to US 40 Alternate in Boonsboro. MD 67 parallels the western flank of South Mountain in southeastern Washington County, connecting Boonsboro with Weverton and Rohrersville. In conjunction with US 340 and US 40 Alternate, MD 67 connects Hagerstown and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, a link that made the highway one of the original state roads marked for improvement in 1909. The first section of the state highway was constructed through Rohrersville around 1920. The remainder of the highway was built between Boonsboro and Weverton in the late 1920s and early 1930s. MD 67 was reconstructed with multiple relocations starting in the late 1950s, culminating in a relocation at the southern terminus to tie into the US 340 freeway in the late 1960s.
MD 67 begins at a trumpet interchange with US 340 (Jefferson Pike) in Weverton within the Potomac Water Gap near Harpers Ferry. The state highway crosses Israel Creek and heads north through a mix of farmland and forest within the Pleasant Valley, the valley of Israel Creek between Elk Ridge to the west and South Mountain to the east. Just north of Israel Creek, MD 67 intersects unsigned MD 67D, a connector east to Weverton Road, the old alignment of MD 67. Within the hamlet of Garretts Mill, the state highway intersects Garretts Mill Road, which heads west toward the Robert Clagett Farm and the Magnolia Plantation, and receives the other end of Weverton Road, which is accessed via MD 67E. MD 67 passes along the edge of Brownsville, which is served by the old alignment, Boteler Road.
