Historical Society of Baltimore County Museum

The Historical Society is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization, incorporated in 1959, is more than sixty years old; whereas the earliest record of Baltimore County dates to 1659 – making the county itself more than 360 years old.

We continually accomplish our mission through the production of presentations, lectures, workshops, entertaining educational publications, historical tours, and exhibits. We offer weekly hours at our research center. We seek-out and add research and cultural materials related to Baltimore County’s history and heritage to our collections. We partner with other like-minded organizations, and we advocate for a more historically minded, educated and aware society.

As a public history institution, we believe we can and should learn from our collective histories. And, that it is our duty and honor to make it fun and fascinating to do so.
