Statues and statuesque in Carroll County

Many would be surprised to learn that Blaze Starr, who passed away on June 15, is not the only creative statuesque figure with a Carroll County connection.

Another famous Carroll County artist, William Henry Rinehart, now has his works of sculpture on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.
