Additional background

  • The Patapsco Heritage Greenway, Inc. (PHG) is the managing entity of the Patapsco Valley Heritage Area, one of Maryland’s 13 certified Heritage Areas.
  • Maryland’s Heritage Areas are places to experience the authentic heritage of Maryland in a unique way that cannot be experienced anywhere else. Individuals, businesses, non-profits and governments within these areas form partnerships to preserve the best of Maryland’s historic sites and towns, unspoiled natural landscapes and enduring traditions. These tangible links to both place and the past encourage residents to recognize they have a special piece of the American story to treasure and share with others, and that in doing so they create more livable and economically sustainable communities.
  • The PHG mission is to preserve, protect, interpret, and restore the environment, history, and culture of Maryland’s Patapsco Valley.
