The Patapsco Valley Heritage Area is one of Maryland’s 13 certified Heritage Areas. Heritage Areas are places to experience the authentic heritage of Maryland. In Heritage Areas individuals, businesses, non-profits and governments form partnerships to preserve the best of Maryland’s historic sites and towns, unspoiled natural landscapes and enduring traditions.

Patapsco Valley Heritage Area programs are managed by Patapsco Heritage Greenway and supported through funding from a variety of partners and sources, including but not limited to the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA), Howard County Government, Baltimore County Government, and other public and private entities.
