Come out this Saturday, April 4, for a ceremonial ribbon cutting at the firehouse museum. Join us at 11am to recognize the renovations and new exhibits. Also, a historic, 1929 fire truck will be there on the opening day from 11am-3pm at the firehouse museum. This is a special event to launch the seasonal opening of our historic sites in downtown Ellicott City (Firehouse Museum, Patapsco Female Institute - PFI, the Cabin, and the Historic Colored School).
Built in 1889 for $500, the Ellicott City Firehouse Museum on Church Road served as the town's first fire station until 1924 for the Ellicott City Volunteer Fire Department, housing hand-drawn and later horse-drawn equipment.
