The Big Valley: Hunt Valley's charm makes it desirable

In the early 1970s, when someone mentioned Hunt Valley, they were referring to the office park or the inn somewhere in the northern wilds of Cockeysville off Shawan Road.

Valley View Farms had expanded from a small roadside stand by then into a single building filled with cider and pumpkins for Halloween, ornaments and lights for Christmas, and a tire swing for children to play on.
