Life in Cecil County Maryland, from a Historical Perspective

What we know about how life was lived can be better understood by the objects of the time period. Memorabilia, ephemera and other artifacts provide an insight that expands upon what has been written. Our ever-growing collection provides a rich understanding into the history of Cecil County. Here is a small sample of what we find so exciting about our county’s history. Please visit the HSCC for a first-hand look at items like these and so much more!
