Elk Landing

and a nation.
All About
Historic Elk Landing
Elk Landing is a small but important Historic Site located in the northeast corner of Maryland. Here is where a young nation struggled for liberty and citizen soldiers repelled invaders seeking to burn the local town. It was a residence to a prominent merchant family who's businesses grew the regional economy and a key transportation hub for those traveling between major mid-Atlantic cities. Along the adjoining Little Elk Creek, a 19th century boatyard constructed large vessels that traveled the Atlantic seaboard.
Today, it is a place to see and imagine life as it was.
We hope to see you soon and experience this meaningful Historic Site for yourself.
Visit us on the national trail system.
Whats New?
The custom doors and windows in the Stone House have been installed - and they look great!
Use the slider to see the dramatic change in the Stone House which has taken years of hard work to stabilize, repair and restore this beautiful historic structure.
For more pictures of the Stone House restoration click here.
In 2025 we are working on bidding out some work to fix some structural issues with the house. Your Generous donations help to fund the continued restoration of this building.
