Our Board

President: Craig Pool – Craig is an engineer responsible for major building projects in the area, including Guinness. As you may well imagine, his skills will be excellent for leadership in maintaining the Brumbaugh House, and his standing as a lifelong Elkridge Resident provides much needed insight and connections.

Vice President: Nikki Marlatt-Young – Nikki has already helped us with things like the renovation of the carriage house, digitization of some of our photographs, and social media outreach to name a few. She comes to us with lifelong residence between Elkridge, Jessup and Arbutus, and very valuable experience with home inspections and community service. She is an energetic and valuable leader for EHS.

Treasurer: Bill Evans – Bill and his wife used to own Signarama, renovated/created our current Brumbaugh and Carriage House signs, and will be invaluable in helping to stage the Brumbaugh house with interpretive signage. Furthermore Bill has experience as treasurer for a nonprofit, and serving on the board of the Maryland Military Historical Society. 

Secretary: Jake Burdett – Jake is a young law student who has lived all his life in Elkridge (except when at Salisbury University for college). He is active in the community, and is brimming with great ideas on how to drum up new members.

Curator: Mary Bahr – Curator, Archivist, Researcher:  Mary Bahr has been a long-standing creative and detailed activist for the EHS. She grew up in Elkridge and has professional experiences in historical research, archiving history, creating displays, and writing & illustrating about Elkridge for the EHS website.  With an MFA degree from MICA, she’s been the Director of the American Museum of Ceramic Art, as an assistant to the Curator and staff photographer at the Johns Hopkins University Art History Dept. for 17 years, as well as working for the Maryland Historical Soc’y twice, among other organizations and businesses.

Webmaster: Tina Barton – Tina was a mathematician and software developer until her retirement from the government in 2015. She supports two nonprofit websites, this one, and the one for the West Virginia Maple Syrup Producers Association. She is not from Elkridge originally, but moved here in 1987 upon her marriage. She found out she was related (in an unknown way) to the Murray family, historically of Rockburn, so she joined the Elkridge Heritage Society in 2012. Since then, she took on website creation and maintenance, and served as secretary for a while. Meanwhile, she got interested in producing maple syrup in a small way in 2017 at her second home in Tanner WV, joined the Maple Producers Association and created their webpage.
