Organization Description

The Natural History Society of Maryland is a private nonprofit dedicated to conserving Maryland’s natural heritage and educating its citizens on the natural sciences since 1929. We are a volunteer-run organization with a few part- and full-time staff. We manage a small Baltimore County museum, offering programs, lectures, workshops, and courses on various natural science subjects. The lower level of our building is a collections facility that houses over 200,000 natural history specimens and artifacts.
