Westminster Attractions

The Carroll County Arts Council is housed in the former Carroll Theatre. The art deco building houses a 263-seat theatre, and the Tevis Gallery with work by regional artists, in various media.

Visitors have the opportunity to experience mid-nineteenth century rural life at the Carroll County Farm Museum. The Museum grounds include original farm structures, such as the Farmhouse, built in 1852-53 and a bank barn as well as a Smokehouse, Broom shop, Saddlery, Springhouse, Living History Center, Wagon shed, and a One-room Schoolhouse. The General Store, reminiscent of the 1800s, sells items handcrafted by Farm Museum artisans, souvenirs, and nickel candies.

The Union Mills Homestead was home to six generations of the Shriver family. David and Andrew Shriver purchased a large tract of land along the Big Pipe Creek in 1797. The Shriver family operated several mills, farmed the land, as well as operating a tannery and canning business. Furnishings and utensils highlight two centuries of American life in the clapboard farmhouse.
