The Firehouse Museum
This building was erected in 1889 as the
town’s first fire department.
It served as a working fire station
from that date until 1923.
Subsequent usage included:
Utilization as a meeting hall for the Mayor and City Council of Ellicott City; Offices of the Howard County Welfare Department, Sanitation Department, Health Department, and as a branch of the Howard County Public Library.
In 1989 the building was restored to its original appearance and in 1991 opened as the Firehouse Museum.
Marker is on Church Road just north of Main Street, on the right when traveling east.
