Sandy Spring Museum

Sandy Spring is one of the Montgomery County’s earliest communities settled in the early 1700s by Quakers.  A visit to the Sandy Spring Museum is a great introduction of this area’s rich and unique history. The museum was founded by local citizens in 1981 to preserve artifacts from the past, but also strengthen the fabric of today’s community.

The Quakers were very innovative farmers, but they were also very progressive who placed a high value on education, abolished slavery long before the civil war, and were very early champions of women’s rights.  Their dedication to education and history is embodied in the museum’s library. Volunteers continue to improve the breadth and depth of a collection that provides a detailed chronicle of the community’s past.

More than a keeper of history, the museum is committed to enriching today’s community. The museum has a resident quilter and blacksmith with regular classes.  And there’s large meeting spaces for private events, concerts, classes and meetings.

Getting to know the Sandy Spring Museum is a great way to get in touch with our past and strengthen your connection to the community. Check out more of the arts in Montgomery County.
