Odenton Heritage Society Celebrates Odenton Day

Stop by the Heritage Society and take a bus tour of historical sites

On Saturday, October 4 from 9 AM to 2 PM, the Odenton Heritage Society (OHS) will open its doors for the town's annual celebration of Odenton Day, a joint effort by the Odenton Heritage Society, Inc., Odenton Volunteer Fire Company, the Greater Odenton Improvement Association, and the Central Maryland Chamber.

Beginning at 10 AM, OHS will offer free, round/return trip, guided tours by shuttle bus from the OVFC Firehouse located at 1425 Annapolis Road, to the OHS Historical Center at 1367 Odenton Road. The tour will pass through Odenton’s Historic District and include three sites on the National Register of Historic Places. At the OHS Historical Center visitors will have the opportunity to learn why Odenton is called “The Town the Railroads Built” while touring our free museum at the historic 1912 Old Masonic Hall. Stroll through Odenton’s history through captivating photographs, artifacts, and presentations.

Activities at the Odenton Firehouse will include fire related demonstrations, music, entertainment, activities for kids, and displays by West County organizations and businesses. There will be free hot dogs, chips and drinks.
