HCLTR’s BookStore featuring: OUR PUBLICATION.. Sold Out!
Published in late 2023, this book documents the process that was used by a group of local researchers in order to determine the history mystery of the accurate age and ownership of the beloved log house on Main Street in Ellicott City, MD that was donated by a local family and restored by preservationists in the early 1980s. Using archival documents, obscure maps and phone interviews they discovered the factual pre–Civil War Black history that had been overshadowed for decades by an inaccurate “European settler” narrative. This book restores the accurate history of the log house to the community along with the oldest Black church of the county, helping to balance the history narrative of Howard County, MD.
Our book was made available for local purchase exclusively through a local bookstore we selected called Backwater Books in old Ellicott City, MD. We also had it available for sale via our site and online store. Both sale mechanisms sold out! The book can now be purchased only through Barnes and Noble until we do a reprint. Link is provided below to take you there. Stay tuned for our new book, coming soon!
