Our town trail system began with a letter to the Board of Education in 1959 and then in the Fall of 1972 Kenneth Mays, Principal and Carroll Swam, 6th grade teacher at Franklin Elementary School surveyed the land....

Reisterstown Improvement Association (RIA) works to deepen direct service to the community along Main Street with an opportunity to help property owners. Our goal is to preserve and improve our historic facades expecting our town will enjoy substantial economic benefits from "dressing up" Main Street.

John Reister and some members of Reisterstown's founding family joined RIA's family to commemorate the historic homes that continue to adorn Main Street.

RIA's Annual Sponsors help us build a better Main Street with community projects that add a special sparkle as we "Stop, Shop, Stroll and Dine."

Our farm family is growing. Literally. During the 2019 season, almost 60 vendors joined us at the market -- old favorites, new hot spots, local artisans, hard working farmers, and more.
