CARROLL COUNTY WELCOMES YOU!

From indistinct points where they appear to have leaked into the flatlands like softened candle wax, the dipping, curving hills of Carroll County rise modestly. To the north, Avalon’s Valley store, once part of a bustling community years ago, then to Malmaison, elegant home of Greenwood Leflore, now ashes below the grass. Travel south to Carrollton, where historical architecture spans centuries, and download the free Walking Tour of Carrollton app to a smart device.

Steeped in history and preservation of our past, we are stately old homes with porch rocking chairs, we are church socials where you eat ‘til you pop, we are deep woods where each generation is taught that nature is a gift, we are old brick stores with yesteryear’s secrets forever locked within our walls.

There are so many more places to discover in Carroll County.  Begin your journey soon.

A Blues Trail marker is at the Old Valley Store.
