The Winchester Cold Storage, which claims to be the largest apple storage in the world, is on your right. The Fred L. Glaize & Brothers Packing Shed, a major packer of fresh fruit to the retail market, is also on your right. On the left is the Migrant Workers Camp, organized by the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association. During the peak of the harvesting season, 1,000 people are lodged in this camp.
