About Us
At Sandy Spring Museum, it’s all about the community. Everything we do, every milestone we celebrate, and every program and exhibit is here for the community and because of the community.
Discover the museum
Founded in 1981 by neighbors determined to preserve Sandy Spring’s history, the museum began in the basement of Sandy Spring Bank. Today it is a gathering place where cultural artists, residents, and visitors share stories and make new connections.
