About Westminster

Westminster is the county seat of Carroll County, northwest of Baltimore. Its roots go back to land purchased in the 1750s, and the city still has an older Maryland town center. McDaniel College gives Westminster a college presence, while the Carroll County Farm Museum reflects the agricultural history of the surrounding county. Westminster feels like a regional hub for northern Maryland: part small city, part college town, part gateway to farm country and commuter routes.
