The Historical Society

2010-10-19T20:09:00.000-04:00

The Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society & Museum, Inc. is an association dedicated to bringing together people who are interested in the history of our area.

The Society collects and maintains material on local history, culture, traditions and economic activities. Books, pamphlets, manuscripts, maps, clippings, photographs, obituaries and other materials are available for researchers, students and anyone having an interest in our history.

There is also available for any community group, a small meeting room which they may use at no cost. The Society believes that they are responsible to serve the community and to encourage in any way the economic development of their locality. It is with this in mind that the Society actively supports and participates in all local events.

The Society depends on contributions, grants, fundraisers and membership dues to meet their expenses. These are the lifeblood of the museum. All operating expenses, maintenance, repairs of the building, publication costs, displays and programs are dependent on this funding. The Society is run by an all volunteer staff.

The Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society & Museum, Inc. is the only local non-profit organization promoting the preservation and interpretation of the history of the Patapsco Neck.

Come to Historic Dundalk, and enjoy a walk back in time. Remember the "Good Old Days", and learn new things about the past.
