Howard County Historical Society’s popular lunch lecture returns in 2026 with a new theme focusing on the small cultural and historical organizations of Howard County and the Patapsco Valley. This “Small Museum Showcase” will highlight the programs, activities, and missions of our partners and neighbors while introducing new audiences to different institutions across the county and beyond. April 10th will feature the history and archaeology at Blandair Park by the County Recreation & Parks Department, as we celebrate Maryland Archaeology Month! Pre-registration is not required but seating is limited. The lecture will take place at the Museum of Howard County History, 8328 Court Avenue, Ellicott City, MD 21043. Free parking is available at the Old Courthouse lot.
