Step back into Nineteenth Century culture. Take a stroll back over a hundred years. The Carroll County Farm Museum welcomes you into an era where self-sufficiency was the order of the day. The Nineteenth Century farm family worked their land to its fullest, produced their own food, churned butter, made soap, and spun wool into yarn. Our predecessors were also talented artisans, creative and skilled, and have left many examples of their ingenuity for us to enjoy.

The Farm Museum offers a virtual treasure trove of period antiques, many of which are donated by Carroll County families. The Carroll County Farm Museum presents rural life as it was in the 19th Century. In addition to the main house, which was built in 1852, the 140-acre museum includes barns, a smokehouse, springhouse, blacksmith shop, craftsmen's workshops and exhibit areas that contain an abundance of early farm memorabilia. Farm animals add to the authenticity of the setting. Recreational facilities include picnic tables, pavilions, and horseshoe pits.

The Carroll County Farm Museum hosts the Maryland Wine Festival annually in September.
