History Revisited
For nearly a quarter of a decade the building which houses our museum laid empty and largely abandoned. Thanks to a variety of state funding, grants, and private donations, the Ritchie History Museum has finally found its home in 202 Barrick Avenue. Built between 1932-1934 as the Brigade Officers mess hall, and later dedicated as a memorial library to the man who designed Ritchie, Robert Barrick.
Our Exhibits
A new exhibit has arrived! Along with a restructuring of the museum's layout, the Interrogation section of our Ritchie Boys exhibit offers an immersive peek at what an interrogation tent felt like.
Digital Archives
Thanks to the funding from the National Endowment of Humanities through Maryland Humanities, our museum has been able to create a digital archive of thousands of documents relating to Camp Ritchie and Fort Ritchie's long history connected to both Maryland History and Military History. Check out our archive and digital space to learn more about our historically unique property. Click here to see our ever growing archive!
