One of the most interesting shopping destinations in the Baltimore area, the Historic Savage Mill complex houses a unique collection of home design and arts and crafts stores. Located on the banks of Little Patuxent River, the complex was a working textile mill from 1822 through 1947 which, in its earliest years, produced canvas used to make sails for clipper ships.
Antiques scavengers will love the collector-quality offerings on display at over 250 antique dealers, while the furniture stores, craft galleries, artist studios, boutiques, and specialty shops will surely have something for everyone. The Rams Head Tavern, Mike's New York Deli, and the Bonaparte French Bakery offer sit-down dinners and treats. Savage Mills also offers guided tours where visitors can learn more about the fascinating 175-year history of the mill, its subsequent use as a Christmas display village, and its ghost.
