A Historical Society of Carroll County MD Box Lunch Talk by
former Westminster Mayor Kevin Dayhoff on May 12, 2015
It was almost 140 years ago when Belle Grove Square, was
developed in the city of Westminster. The park was formally turned over to the
city in late May 1877 through the civic generosity of George and Maria Matthews.
The origins of Belle Grove Square date back to 1866 when
what was then, farmland and woods, was originally purchased by the Matthews
family.
The park was deemed one of Westminster’s sacred secular spaces
by the late professor of religion, Dr. Ira G. Zepp, Jr., of McDaniel College.
Learn more about the many secrets of Westminster’s first
park, a hidden emerald in plain sight in the center of Westminster.
