Carroll County, Maryland, has been a crossroads of cultures since the 18th century. Carroll's structures and town plans reflect English and Pennsylvania-German influences. Mile-long streets punctuated by town squares are lined with a variety of stone and brick buildings of various eras. Though progress has altered these plans, the survival rate allows modern viewers to glimpse and compare multiple eras of local history.

Featuring more than 200 images, old photos of the past connect to the same places today to make history accessible and relevant. Soft cover 96 pages - By Catherine Baty and Jerry Trescott
