The lady in white of Tonge Row, the Civil War soldier who stalks the lower end of Main Street, and the vigilant firefighter of Station 2 invite you to hear their stories during our frightfully fun ghost tours.

Historic Ellicott City Annual Decorator Show House 

Come and marvel at Wilderness Farm, the 20th-century farmhouse selected for the 2018 Historic Ellicott City Decorators Show House.

This year, 13 designers will decorate 20 rooms and spaces in Wilderness Farm, drawing inspiration from the history of the home and their own imaginations. Visitors will see a fantastic range of design techniques, ideas and themes.
