Bowensville Farm & Nursery has an interesting story. The town of Bowensville is not exactly found on a map. In fact, it represents the village of Bowens, Maryland. In 1882, a parcel of land belonging to James and Mary Hutchins was sold to Silas Bowen who built the original store, Bowen’s Store & Post Office. Silas Bowen later sold the parcel and land back to James & Mary Hutchins and on March 4, 1887, postal service to Bowens, MD began with James Hutchins listed as the first postmaster. During this time period, there was at least one school, a physician’s office and a mill. The post office expanded to include a general store and was quintessential to life in Bowens. Many gathered to socialize, buy dry goods, send and receive mail and hear politicians give their stump speeches. On April 30, 1957, postal service was discontinued, however the store remained open for some time afterwards. Today, the original post office building still stands and is registered with the Maryland Historical Society (CT-105). For decades, locals have referred to Bowens as Bowensville. The farm the greenhouse operates from resides near the center of the former village.
