All About
Historic Elk Landing at the Head of Elk
Elk Landing is an important Historic Site for Cecil County located in the northeast corner of Maryland. Here is where a young nation struggled for liberty during the Revolutionary War with notable figures as George Washington, Count Rochambeau, and Lafayette. As citizen soldiers, troops repelled invaders seeking to burn the local town during the War of 1812. Elk Landing was a residence to a prominent merchant family (Hollingsworth) whose businesses grew the regional economy. Elk Landing was a key transportation hub for those traveling between major mid-Atlantic cities and key in transporting goods and services to support settlers from the 1600's through to the early 1900's.
Today, under the management of The Historic Elk Landing Foundation, Inc., the property is geared towards educational endeavors and continued restoration through grants and generous donations.
We hope to see you soon and experience this meaningful Historic Site for yourself.
Visit us on the national trail system. Elk Landing is part of the Washington-Rochambeau Historic Trail and the Star-Spangled Banner Trail.
