HSCC collects a wide range of objects, from the eighteenth century to the present, which Carroll residents have used and made in order to document everyday life in this piedmont Maryland county. Objects collected include household furnishings, fine arts, clothing and household textiles, domestic and craft tools, and the library collection, which includes manuscripts, newspapers, maps, books, and photographs. The Society uses these collections for exploring themes of daily life from the settlement of Carroll County to the present through exhibitions, public programs, and publications. Visitors to HSCC may view collections in the Sherman-Fisher-Shellman House and the Shriver-Weybright Exhibition Gallery. Enquiries concerning specific collections may be directed to the staff. More information on collections will be available online in the future. Tall Clocks The above image is of an ivory miniature (c.1790) of Capt.
