1910 Westminster Carroll County Maryland Main Street


1910 Westminster Carroll County Maryland Main Street

At any given time, most any of my old family post cards are “one of my favorites.” But I guess this one really is.

Postmarked from 1910, this post card looks east on Westminster’s Main Street from the rail road tracks. If you were to see the original post card, you would notice that the street was still dirt. Amazingly, Westminster’s Main Street was dirt up to around 1923.

I remember many dirt streets, alleys and roads while growing-up in Westminster in the 1950s and 1960s.


This image was published by my good friend, historian, artist, musician and photographer, Ken Koons over at the Carroll County Times. If you have any old photos of Carroll County, consider contacting Kenny and sharing them in the “Reflections of Carroll’s Past” section of the newspaper.
