The Grantsville Community Museum opened in the spring of 2004 in the former Ruth Enlow Library building. The Museum joined the Garrett County Historical Society, which offered to help the Museum get started and to share artifacts.

The Grantsville Community Museum is located at 153 Main Street in the center of Grantsville and is now open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from May to October from 1 to 4 PM. The curator is Earleena Tressler and Maxine Broadwater is our local historian. The museum phone number is 301-895-5454.

The mission of our museum is to preserve the stunning photographic legacy of Leo Beachy, a poet and photographer recording local history from 1905-1927.

The goal of the museum is to tell the compelling story of Grantsville and Western Maryland through our collection of photographs and artifacts donated by the community. Please consider a donation of artifacts of local interest to our museum.

The First State Bank was formerly housed in the museum building and artifacts from the bank are on display in the former bank safe. Braddock’s Trail ran near Grantsville and artifacts from the trail are also on display.
