19730705 The Carroll Record: Old Time Market Again In Carroll County

Old Time Market Again In Carroll County

The Carroll Record, July 5, 1973

You can find historical lore aplenty in Carroll County, in the heart of northern Maryland's agriculturally oriented Piedmont area.

Another plaque marks the location of "Corbit's Charge" on June 29, 1863, which slowed up a Rebel cavalry division on its way to the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, some 20 miles up present highway 140 in neighboring Pennsylvania.

And a cultural spill-over from north of the old Mason-Dixon Line is in Pennsylvania Dutch influence with its tradition for thriftiness and home gardening.

It's this latter heritage which helped make a success of the county's first old-time farmers market last year during an 11-week run on summer Saturdays at the Carroll County Agricultural Center, according to Robert L. Jones, County Extension agricultural agent.

That success has blossomed into plans for a 13-week resumption this year, beginning Saturday (July 7) at the same location, Jones has announced on behalf of the farmers market committee. It is located adjacent to the Farm Museum, south of Westminster on Smith Avenue, off U.S. Highway 140 and between state highways 32 and 27.
