The Carroll County History Project is an ongoing effort dedicated to preserving the history of the county and the memories of its residents. The CMC intends to tell the story of Carroll County's rich history as well as to record residents' stories and make them permanently available for generations to come.

Your friends and relatives have unique stories to tell. They know a Carroll County history that can't be found in textbooks, because they lived it. Carroll County Remembers and Carroll County: Through the Eyes of the Black Experience are collections of those stories. They reveal the people, places and events that made Carroll County what it is today. We invite you to help capture these stories so that they may live on and be shared with others.

Interviews collected for Carroll County Remembers and Carroll County: Through the Eyes of the Black Experience can be viewed on this website and will become a part of the Carroll County History Project, a multi-year, multi-part overview of the county. It includes a video and audio archive of resident's memories and an in-depth television program, Carroll County's Legacy, created by MPT producer and resident Marilyn Maguire. Carroll County's Legacy will explore the rich heritage of the area and discuss the many characteristics that make Carroll County unique.

The Carroll County History Project was developed by the Community Media Center, Carroll County Public Library, Carroll County NAACP, Human Relations Commission of Carroll County, Historical Society of Carroll County, and the Carroll County Genealogical Society.
