Discover the unique challenges that faced 19th and early 20th-century firefighters of Ellicot City at the Firehouse Museum. Situated in the center of the city’s historic district, the museum features several exhibits of what makes Ellicot City such a difficult place to plan for in terms of fire protection.
Learn all about the city’s unique topography, such as its sloping streets and buildings, as well as the group of volunteers that came together in 1889 to build the city’s first firehouse in another location. Visitors to the museum can also see artifacts used by the volunteers from the firehouses’ earlier years, like the hand-drawn and horse-drawn fire equipment, and images of the first few firehouses.
