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.
