SITES AND MUSEUMS

The Laurel Museum

Built in the early 1840s, this brick and stone house was one of 50 units built for millworkers of the nearby Laurel Cotton Mill. Designed for four families, it might have housed as many as six. Purchased by the city in 1985 from the state of Maryland, it was renovated and opened as a museum in 1996 and is run today by the Laurel Historical Society. The museum features a modern exhibit gallery, library, gift shop, and authentic basement showing original beams and stairs.
