Savage Mill Historic District, Industrial heritage site in Howard County, Maryland.

The Savage Mill Historic District contains multiple industrial buildings along the Little Patuxent River, featuring brick and stone structures from 1822 to 1916.

The mill complex began operations in 1821 as the Savage Manufacturing Company, producing cotton duck with 120 power looms and employing 200 workers by 1825.

Women formed the majority of mill workers, operating machinery in designated areas and communicating through small windows during their shifts.

The district now functions as a shopping and dining destination, housing numerous specialty stores, art galleries, and restaurants within preserved historic buildings.

The mill complex expanded across 1000 acres and included a grist mill, iron foundry, and machine shop that supplied materials to the Harpers Ferry Armory.
