Old County Library, Elkton

Maryland · USA · Road

The old county library stands on Main Street at Elkton, Maryland, diagonally across from the courthouse, and it served the county until the late 1980s or early 1990s.

What is reported there is attributed not to the library but to the man who built the house immediately to the left of it, as you look at the front.

He went away on a business trip, and what he came back to is the account.

Elkton has a particular history worth knowing. For decades it was the marriage capital of the east coast, because Maryland required no waiting period, and couples came down from New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to be married the same day. There were wedding chapels the length of this street.

A town where tens of thousands of people got married in a hurry has its own kind of history in the buildings.
