Special Event Saturday: The First Marylanders

Local historian, archaeologist, and author Lee Preston will captivate children with his knowledge of the early Susquehannocks.  Participants will try picture writing, native games, and creating a musical instrument.  All Scouts are eligible for the Native American patch.

A year full of special events is planned at the Historical Society’s Ellicott Mills Children’s Museum.  On the second Saturday of eight months in spring and fall the doors will open at 1:30 p.m. for registered children to participate in 90 minute, hands-on activities which are both meaningful and fun.  All children, ages 7 and up, are welcome.  Girl Scouts who attend will receive a certificate of participation, which will qualify them for a badge.

Due to capacity constraints at the little Museum, these are drop-off activities.  Adults are invited next door to enjoy the Museum of Howard County History, then pick the children up at 3:00.

Registration fee is $5.00.
