Museum of Howard County History

Lovely historic building, interesting displays. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Very nice museum... Lady that works over there is very friendly and helpful.
Next to it there is a children's museum... It will be our next stop.

As a member my wife and I attend the lunch with history programs. They are once a month on Friday at noon. They are diverse programs, not just about Howard County. We have found them interesting and educational. Check out the website.

Cool museum! We learned A LOT about the area and it's eventful history. The staff were friendly and offered us more insight about the floods and demonstrated the phonograph. This was a great addition to an iconic city!

Former Church turned into a Museum about Historic Howard County and Ellicott City. Lovely historical facility run by a staff thats knowledgeable about the local history. It's also a Wedding reception Venue, literally across the street from the Ellicott City Courthouse. You need to contact them about Covid-19 restrictions.

this place is so cool! the stained glass is beautiful from the inside, and it's just a really cozy area. the building itself looks very brooding and dramatic, and the area around it is super friendly (i love the landscaping and all of the sitting areas). whenever it's open, i love stopping by and taking in some of the history, too. the museum has really nice pieces of furniture and clothing from howard county and especially ellicott city's past. it's a really quiet spot, so it's great for some silent reflection, too. honestly, i love just walking around these streets and coming up by this church and the courthouse, as the winding streets make for a fun journey from the busier main street. in the warmer months, the greenery is really appealing, as there are plenty of lush plants in this area, giving it an incredibly welcoming air. it's cute and free! what more could you want?

An inspired building, a former Presbyterian church with original stained glass windows, a bequest from the late Mrs. James Clark.

We were disappointed that the artifacts and exhibits focused on Ellicott City, very little about Howard County. Would like more information about families and history of the entire County.
