The Carroll County Farm Museum provides the public with the opportunity to experience mid nineteenth-century rural life. The Museum grounds include original farm structures, such as the Farmhouse, built in 1852-53, and a bank barn. Other buildings include a Smokehouse, Broom Shop, Saddlery, Springhouse, Living History Center, Wagon Shed, General Store exhibit, and a One-room Schoolhouse. Period artifacts and antiques complete the rural experience for visitors.
This local Orchard is a lovely place to pick fresh produce from the nearby orchards or find some gifts or flora in the gift shop.
Over 30 Maryland wineries come together each year in September for visitors to sample and buy excellent local wines. With music, food, and craft vendors, there is plenty to do and see in addition to the wine. The 2013 festival will be held September 21 and 22. Don't forget to bring a designated driver who will receive discounted admission.
This restaurant is a local's favorite, featuring fresh dishes with local ingredients found right in the county. Meats and an excellent salad bar at decent prices make this a must-see stop on your visit. Plus, plenty of old model trains and posters are displayed throughout the restaurant, and a meat market/gift shop is on the side of the restaurant.
Fresh local ingredients are combined at this family friendly restaurant, and at very good prices.

With good food, awesome beverages, and outstanding Irish decor, any visitor to Westminster will not want to miss this pub. Outdoor seating becomes available at 5PM during warmer months.
This hotel is located in a very good position - close to many local activities. Very affordable as well.
To get around Westminster, a small bus service "CATS" (Carroll Area Transit System) occasionally runs through town, but it can be a little hard to find. So the best way to go is to rent a car.
