U.S. 220 Landmark Is a Lot of Bull

Image
A noteworthy Allegany County roadside attraction is the life-sized bull at the entrance to Wil-Mar Farms in Rawlings.  It seems untroubled by the traffic on U.S. 220, a.k.a. the McMullen Highway, but stands watch just in case. Wil-Mar Farms -- a cattle operation, of course -- probably was named for its husband-and-wife founders, William Harold Moran Sr. and Mary Ellen Kenny Moran. Take the first syllables of "William" and "Mary," and you get Wil-Mar. Source: "William H. Moran."
