Posted on April 1, 2019 by Miller and Smith Blog Team

The town of New Market, Maryland is a place you will always feel welcome. Since 1793, the area has been establishing itself, providing plenty of things to see and activities to do for both visitors and residents. From taking a trip down history lane to having a fun day at the local lake with the kids, New Market is the perfect place for those who love to explore the great outdoors and unplug from everyday life.

If you’re looking for spring activities to do in New Market, Maryland, you’ve come to the right place. But where do you begin? Let us help you out. After all, we know a thing or two about the area with our Aspen North at Lake Linganore community being located right in the center of it all. 

1. Historic New Market
Explore the Antiques Capital of Maryland and visit historic landmarks such as the Henry Nelson House and Drummine Farm. Have time for a tour? This June, the New Market Historic House Tour will be taking place, giving all attendees the chance to fully immerse themselves in the history and culture of the town. Don’t forget to visit R.P. Brady Antiques for some one-of-a-kind vintage shopping!

When it comes to food, there are plenty of places to wine and dine in Downtown New Market. For comfort food, head on over to The Derby Restaurant & Bar or Vintage Restaurant. For good old fashioned Italian cuisine, you’ll want to visit Pasquale’s. If you have seafood on your mind, Lighthouse Seafood is the place to be.

2. Carroll Creek Linear Park
Located just 12 minutes west of New Market, Maryland is the beautiful Carroll Creek Linear Park. Enjoy a peaceful afternoon walking through the park while admiring its architectural beauty. Among the 1.3-mile brick paths, you will see the Galleria Fountain, Iron Bridge, Community Bridge, Pedestrian Bridge, Stone Arch Bridge, and East/West Fountain. Why so many bridges? While they’re beautiful and each has their own design, they have a purpose. The park was originally designed to protect the town of Frederick from flooding in the late 1970s and has since turned into a wonderful resting spot for visitors.
