As renovations wind down on the Brumbaugh House, and work continues on designing new interpretive displays, we are having another fundraiser to help cover our utility costs. We are very excited to announce our first Elkridge Trivia Night at Daniels! It will be $40 per 4-person team, and the winning team gets half the entrance fees received! This is going to be fun, and the questions will be Elkridge-centric! Mark your calendar. It will start at 5pm, Sunday July 13, 2025, at Daniels (5854 Washington Blvd, Elkridge).
We can only accept cash or PayPal on the day of the event. You may pay ahead of time at https://elkridgeheritage.org/donate/ – just email us at [email protected] of your intentions for your donation.
Soon we will announce our next historical presentation, to be centered around the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department, at the Fire Department, and FINALLY, our Open House which we hope to have in September!
Meanwhile, please consider the following announcements from our partner organizations:
