Museum · Garrett County Historical Society

Two floors of how people and things moved around this county: carriages, sleighs, automobiles, boats, fire equipment. The upstairs gallery is given over to the history of Deep Creek Lake itself. Open for the warm half of the year only.

  • Shut all winter. The 2026 season runs 6 May to Autumn Glory, so a January trip is wasted.
  • Closed Sunday through Tuesday even in season.

What's inside

  • Carriages, sleighs and buggies
  • Automobiles and boats
  • Fire department equipment
  • The Deep Creek Gallery upstairs: the history of the lake and the state parks around it
