Carroll County’s Historic Almshouse
Carroll County’s Historic AlmshouseThe earliest almshouses in Maryland were established in colonial times. As each new Maryland county came into existence, it was required to open an almshouse. Joanna Peregoy, a volunteer at the Carroll County Farm Museum, explores the history of Carroll County’s facility—from its construction in 1852 to its conversion to a museum over 100 years later.
