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. Its 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 its 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 its 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 citys past. its a really quiet spot, so its 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. its cute and free! what more could you want?

Wonderful birthday party here. Great space and nice to see exhibits. Big room gets noisy obviously but escaping to a back room is an option.

The passion for Ellicott Citys history is shown by the artifacts, the tours, the people who work there and the museum itself is so beautiful! I learned so much and had so much fun exploring the museum!

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.
