The Laurel Historical
Society locates and preserves Laurel's historic and natural heritage.
Explore old Laurel
and learn something of Maryland's early colonial heritage as
well as a prime example of industrial and economic development
along the Baltimore Washington corridor. Walk down Laurel's historic
Main Street business district and imagine life in the 19th century.
This part of our original small town was a classic railroad "T-town"
with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad rails crossing the top
of Main Street. Commerce and supplies, as well as new citizens,
arrived by rail here in the early days of Laurel's growth. Products
of Laurel's cotton mills and manufacturing firms departed the
same way.
Take a Walking Tour of Laurel.
Brochures available at the Laurel
Museum.
