Want to learn about historic Ellicott City, get a little exercise and have some fun? Join us for our popular daytime walking tour. You will…

Travel along Main Street as part of an imaginary railroad…participate in a 1800s-style bucket brigade to put out an imaginary fire...learn how the rock formations along the road were blown up before dynamite…explore one of the mystifying alleyways of Tongue Row and experience the sounds of Main Street during the 1700s.

In this lively one-hour walking tour along Main Street, learn the 5Rs (Railroad, River, Road, Rock and Rebuild) of Ellicott City. Learn about 20 historic sites, including the raging Patapsco River, the first national road, the town’s hidden cobblestone alley, B&O Railroad Museum, the gigantic rock cliffs alongside the sidewalks and the mysterious marker near the Railroad bridge. Discover the abundance of antique stores, restaurants and specialty shops as you walk along the bustling historic district.

Experienced tour guides provide a safe, educational, interactive and entertaining day-time tour for school-age children and the young at heart. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Ideal for school-age groups, girl and boy scouts, church groups and others interested in local history.
