On June 29th, 1863, the tragedy of war unfolded upon the streets of Westminster, MD. This ferocious battle, although brief, caused major implications upon the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War as a whole. This talk, given by historian Steven W. Carney, will discuss the events leading up to “Corbit’s Charge,” the battle itself, the aftermath, and the impact the battle had upon the Civil War. Steven will also discuss highlights of the role Carroll County played within the Gettysburg Campaign and the Civil War.

Carroll 250 Event: History of Manchester Presented by Joe Getty
2026-06-18 19:30 - 20:30 | Manchester Town Council Chambers, 3337 Victory Street, Manchester, 21102, United States
The earliest settlement in Manchester took place through the movement of population from two different directions by settlers seeking productive agricultural land to establish farmsteads.
English-speaking settlers from Tidewater Maryland started claiming land in this region during the 1730s. Due to their access to the land patent office in Annapolis, many of the original land surveys were done by prominent landowners in Tidewater Maryland.
The northern part of Carroll County, however, was dominated by German-speaking settlers moving south from central Pennsylvania.
By 1758, a sufficient number of German-speaking households had settled so that they banded together to form a church congregation and sought a land patent. Their land grant, named “German Church in Baltimore County,” was issued on Oct. 23, 1758.
Mr. Getty, who writes a local history column for the Northern News, will present his own research about the history of Manchester, including the attempts to build a railroad and the post-Civil War cigar industry.
In addition, his Powerpoint presentation will include artifacts and source materials from the Manchester Historical Center at 3208 York St., Manchester.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
The Manchester History Center collects and exhibits photographs and artifacts about all eras in Manchester’s history. It is located at 3208 York St. and open on the 1st Sunday and the 3rd Saturday of each month. Hours are 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. or by appointment on other days.

Carroll 250 Event: The Maryland Constitution – An Historical View of Carroll County
2026-06-25 18:30 - 19:30 | Exploration Commons At 50 East, 50 East Main Street, Westminster, MD, 21157, United States
Join us on Thursday, June 25 to hear the Honorable Joseph Getty give this informative talk about the Maryland Constitution at Exploration Commons in Westminster.
After the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Maryland was one of the first states to adopt a state constitution. The Maryland Constitutional Convention (the Ninth Provincial Convention) met in Annapolis during the summer and fall of 1776 and completed its work on Nov. 11, 1776. The Maryland Constitution served as a model for other states and, eleven years later, for the delegates to the Constitutional Convention for the United States during the summer of 1787. Subsequent constitution conventions were held in 1851, 1864, 1867 and 1967, although the proposed constitution in 1967 was rejected by the voters. In this presentation, historian Joe Getty will discuss Carroll County leaders – David Shriver, John E. Smith, William Pickney Maulsby, Mary B. Shellman, Mary Bryson and Richard Dixon – who have served in roles significant to the development and amendment of the Maryland Constitution.
About the speaker:
Joseph M. Getty served as Chief Judge, Court of Appeals (now the Supreme Court of Maryland) from September 2021, to April 2022. He was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland in 2016. Prior to his appointment, he served as Chief Legislative Officer for Governor Larry Hogan. He was elected to the Maryland Senate in 2010 and 2014 (District 5, Carroll and Baltimore Counties) and to the Maryland House of Delegates (District 5, Carroll County) in 1994 and 1998. His legislative career includes many committee and workgroup assignments on Maryland legal affairs including the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee and House Judiciary Committee. From 2003-2007, he served in the executive branch as policy director to Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. He is a graduate of Washington College (B.A.), the George Washington University, (M.A.) and the University of Maryland School of Law (J.D.).
