Ellicott City is a charming historic community located just west of the city of Baltimore within the valley of the beautiful Tiber and Patapsco Rivers. The city is best known as the home of the United States' oldest surviving train station, which was constructed as the terminus for the B&O Railroad line in 1830. Its lovely historic district, commonly referred to as Old Ellicott City, showcases delicious restaurants, antique stores, and unique purportedly haunted attractions. Nearby, Patapsco Valley State Park offers opportunities for year-round outdoor recreation, including hiking and fishing. Turf Valley is the mostly luxurious place to stay here.
