Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture FROM HERITAGE TOURS TO BOUTIQUE STORES Another must-visit is charming Old Ellicott City. It’s gotten through major flooding events with a renewed sense of community and commitment to its small businesses, meaning the historic downtown has as much energy as ever. Walk the city’s winding streets and experience its unique offerings, from fine furniture and fashion boutiques to elevated second-hand clothing and antiques stores to sweet shoppes featuring candies and bakery goods. Take a break and sip some craft beer at Manor Hill Tavern or Phoenix on Main Street while you’re at it. In Baltimore, celebrate the lives and legacies of African-American Marylanders at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture.
