New Market traces its history back to the early horse and buggy days of the late 18th century. Founded in 1793 by Nicholas Hall and William Plummer: New Market's location along the historic National Pike, made it a convenient stop for travelers in need of food, lodging, and services. The high-wheeled, six horse, Conestoga wagons were frequent visitors on their way to the Ohio Country and beyond.
The eight hotels and taverns lining Main Street provided travelers with a night's lodging for a Quarter and a glass of whiskey for a Nickel. Beyond the hotels were barns and pens for resting livestock being herded to Baltimore markets. Wheelwrights, blacksmith shops, a tannery as well as, button and shoe factories and wrought iron nail shop met the needs of travelers and the farming community.

 | Possible Barbour House
More gleanings from the 1873 plat of New Market:
L. Barbour lived on the west end of town. Perhaps this was a relative of Achsah. This may be the house (door on left).

 | Henry Stier Dulaney
Henry Stier Dulaney also owned a house in New Market in 1873. I was unable to place it exactly on the block, but it seems likely that it was this or its neighbor. |
