On May 30, 1950, more than 4,000 people attended the 200th Anniversary
celebration in Walkersville, and the dedication of the new fire hall and
community center. This building now serves as Town Hall after extensive
renovations.


On May 30, 1980, Judge William W. Wenner, of the Frederick County District
Court, was appointed to The Sixth Judicial Circuit Court by Gov. Harry
Hughes. He replaced Judge Robert E. Clapp, Jr., who retired.


On May 30, 1994, Jug Bridge Memorial Park was dedicated. This park
commemorates the Jug Bridge over the Monocacy River, which was built in 1808
and remained in use until 1942, when a section collapsed into the river.
