The Laurel Museum is a charming museum preserving the history of the city of Laurel, located within a former mill worker's home constructed between 1836 and 1840 by Horace Capron. The gorgeous 2,590-square-foot brick-and-stone building was originally constructed to showcase four home units. Throughout the 20th century, it was maintained as a two-family home before being purchased by the City of Laurel in 1985 for conversion into a public museum. Today, the nonprofit museum showcases exhibits on the city's social, cultural, and civic history, including retrospectives of influential citizens. Museum admission is free for visitors throughout the year.
