Ellicott City, Maryland


The Historic District of Ellicott City, MD.


The historic district of Ellicott City, MD is a wonderful way to spend your day! Ellicott City is a suburb of Baltimore and the train rail bridge bearing the name, was built by the old B&O railroad. The photo to the left is the train station where people and freight was loaded on train cars. Make sure you tour this historic building, walk on the platform and imagine what it would be like to board the next train! Parked right next to the train station is a real caboose that you can board. Inside the caboose is a replica model train that kids from young to old will enjoy!


In the Historic District stone homes built in the late 1800's are the norm! Flowing through the area is the Patapsco River. In the summer time when the river takes on a lazy flow, many come to stack the river rocks. Many come to wade and try to catch some fish!

Many come to discover their treasures at one of the many shops along Main Street! From antique furnishings for the home to sports cards and toys for the kids. Main Street has something for everyone! What a way to spend your day than to sit and sip coffee at the Main Street coffee shop, or the wine at the Wine Bin? You'll also discover many ways to dine along Main Street. From the local pub to the fine dinning experience Main Street offers a great deal!

Come discover for yourself this local treasure,
The Historic District of Ellicott City, MD.
