To repair / care for the Elkridge Heritage Society’s headquarters, the Brumbaugh House, raise money to continue operations, build membership and share Elkridge Heritage / History through events, and to maintain a museum for public viewing.

We hope you consider giving back your local Elkridge history by donating to our tax deductible 501c(3).

Our headquarter is in the Brumbaugh House, 5825 Main Street, in Elkridge. It was formerly the home of Dr. Benjamin Bruce Brumbaugh. Dr. Brumbaugh was a popular country doctor in Elkridge who continued to make house calls until he retired after 50 years of dedicated service. His office was in his home and we have preserved it as it was when he passed away in 1985. There are still some “Brumbaugh Babies” in Elkridge who were delivered by him. We maintain the house as a museum.

Our old membership brochure is attached below, which also has more information. To join, go to https://elkridgeheritage.org/become-a-member/ for more information.

We have a large assortment of Elkridge artifacts and files in addition to Dr. Brumbaugh’s medical supplies and notebooks. These include sports memorabilia, maps, and family history files. The photo above shows Dr. Brumbaugh’s office much as it was when he retired. The photo is courtesy of AAIC Visual Perceptions.
