Carroll County is a beautiful, rural area, convenient to Baltimore, Gettysburg, and Washington, D.C. In addition to its great location, Carroll County offers a peaceful day away from the hustle and bustle of more metropolitan areas. Carroll offers so much for our visitors to see. Here you will find history, antiquing, festivals, walking tours, driving tours, biking tours, and nature parks. And when your day is done, kick back and relax at one of our quaint bed and breakfasts or modern hotels. Our visitors are encouraged to stop by Visitor Center at 210 E. Main Street, Westminster, where they will find friendly and knowledgeable staff to help them plan a day in Carroll County. We have many brochures about the various sites, along with our Calendar of Events. History! History buffs can find plenty to satisfy their curiosity. Carroll's North border shares billing as the Mason-Dixon Line. The Historical Society of Carroll County offers tours of the Sherman-Fisher-Shellman House and a gallery located in the Kimmey House full of Carroll County memorabilia; and don't forget the gift shop which offers lots of museum-quality items for sale. Take a stroll back over a hundred years to Carroll County Farm Museum, which is open to the public from May to October. During the season many festivals are held: the Fourth of July, Fiddlers Convention, The Maryland Wine Festival in September and Fall Harvest Days in October. Artisans demonstrating broom making, tinsmithing, blacksmithing may be observed or stop for a break in the Rose Garden, offering old-fashioned varieties of roses. The Union Mills Homestead and Grist Mill (circa 1797) home of the Shriver family for six generations, has been carefully restored. Years ago the bustling mill attracted wagonloads of people bringing their grain to market. Today, watch whole grain ground into wheat, buckwheat and corn meal, which can be purchased in small sacks at the gift shop. The Homestead also played an important part in the days before the Gettysburg Civil War battle. Troops from both sides were fed from the huge kitchen--though on different days. Everything is much the same as when the Homestead was in daily use by an active family growing with America, and the visitor is assured a rewarding experience. The Homestead also hosts the Maryland MicroBrewery Festival the last Saturday in September. Driving Tours! Take a leisurely ride through some of our most scenic back roads while tracing troop movement and observing Civil War points of interest. Our Civil War Driving Tour will provide you with the route that some 60, 000 Union and Confederate soldiers marched through. The two-part brochure describes the history and the actual driving tour with map. Sites are clearly marked and the tour is arranged so that you can begin at most any of our towns.
