The historic, federal styled town of New Market was founded in 1793 by two gentlemen of the area, Nicholas Hall and William Plummer. From its earliest days, it was a convenient stop for travelers in need of food, lodging, and services along the turnpike from Baltimore to Frederick.
Known as the “Antiques Capital of Maryland,” New Market now offers a concentration of establishments where visitors can browse and purchase the treasures of yesteryear. The "New Market Days" festival is held annually in September, with this year's festival scheduled for September 23rd and 24th of 2006. "Christmas in New Market" is held in early December every year as well. Both festivals celebrate the traditional life of 18th and 19th century residents. Fine bed-and-breakfast accommodations and dining facilities in formal and casual settings are available.
