First Mill Town Tea

Nov 9, 2023

On the heels of our 50th Anniversary celebration we launched a collaborative venture between ourselves Historic Ellicott City, Inc. (HEC, Inc.) and the Howard County Historical Society (HCHS). MILL TOWN TEA, as it is called, was held November 9, 2023. This first tea was a member’s only event, but members may bring guests. The purpose of the tea was to raise awareness of our organizations, enlighten the public about our distinctions, bringing the public together at the Museum of Howard County as an historical reference location.

We had full attendance of 48 guests and an anonymous survey yielded nothing but rave reviews. Our next tea is slated for February 2024.
