It's the new millennium and thanks to the efforts of our "local" computer repair and website design team, EllicottCityMainStreet.com is now a reality. Here you will find out information about ALL the Shops, Cafes and Centers in Historic Ellicott City. Also, you will find a special "Calendar of Events" that is updated by the ECBA (Ellicott City Business Association) and the Historic Society. We invite you to look around and plan a day trip to Historic Ellicott City. Check out some of the local shops and see if they have some special offers to make your trip even more exciting. And when you are here be sure to visit the B & O Museum. There is something to do for everyone in Historic Ellicott City.
