November 2015  
The holidays are just a month away!  No worries though, Downtown Westminster is here to help!  Join us for our 2nd Saturday Holiday Open House event on the 14th, complete with our Farmers' Market, Pop UP Art Market, and great holiday shopping all over downtown! And on Saturday the 28th, be sure to come Downtown for Small Business Saturday -- a wonderful way to shop local for the holidays -- and stay for the Jingle Bell Run, Holiday Electric Parade, Tree Lighting, and Santa's Treat. Speaking of Santa, the Jolly Ol' Elf arrives in a horse drawn carriage during the parade, taking up residence at his house on the Library Lawn.

"The Forgotten Corner:
A History of Oakland Mill"  
    
Located in the southeast corner of Carroll County, the Oakland Mill was the second largest employer in this area until it met its demise in 1951. Today, the only objects that hint at a mill town are a few roads disappearing into Liberty Lake and foundation stones seen during times of drought. Author Diana Scott examines the birth, life, and death of the town.
