Ellicott’s Upper Mills
1775
Joseph Ellicott (who with his brothers Andrew and John had established Ellicott’s Lower Mills, now Ellicott City, on the Patapsco River in 1772) built the Upper Mills and his home on “Fountaindale” near this spot in 1775. Remaining gravestones of the adjoining family burying ground were moved in 1974 to the Ellicott graveyard in Ellicott City.
Marker is on Old Frederick Road 1.5 miles east of Rogers Avenue, on the left when traveling east.
