In 1831, The Ellicott City B&O
Railroad Station-the Oldest Terminus in America -became an integral
part of America's rail transportation system. Passengers and freight
moved through its gates on a daily basis, traveling to the port
of Baltimore or to points west with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Since 1976, the Station has operated as a living history museum,
telling the story of its place in the history of transportation,
and its role in the Civil War and other milestones in our country's
history. This book tells those stories, and also functions as a
guide to the facility. It is a great resource for students and lovers
of local history.
The book is on sale at the Ellicott
City B&O Railroad Station Museum and at the Howard County Tourism
Office. The book is $9.95.

 Celia
M. Holland wrote the book, , over three
decades ago, offering insider views of many notable sites in Ellicott
City, most of which are not open to the public-a valued historic
resource. Long out of print, the book has now been updated with
new information by local writers Janet P. Kusterer and Charlotte
T. Holland, Celia's daughter, and new photographs by Charles Kyler.
The writers revisited each site included in the
original book, interviewed the current owners, and learned their
stories of continued preservation over the years. The new text,
along with a variety of new photographs, has been added to each
chapter, making the book yet again a useful resource for those who
love Ellicott City and who want to learn more about its history
and residents.
