Held my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party at the Maryland Historical Society and could not have been happier. Great facilities and great service. Scott Rubin was fantastic to work with and made everything possible. Will certainly use again.

We recently had the pleasure of using the Maryland Historical Society as the venue for a directors retreat. The space was beautiful and perfectly suited our needs. The staff was very accommodating, attentive and friendly. We really appreciate the work they put in to help make our retreat a success. MDHS was a fantastic location for our event.
