These photos and clippings come from the Heritage Society Baumgartner Archives and other sources, scanned by member Rita Gaunt with additional research and photos by archivist Scott Huffines.
This print archive captures a historical snapshot of life in Essex and Middle River, Maryland. The archive contains nearly 300 categorical binders documenting our community activities with articles, pamphlets, and photographs from 1969 through the 1980s. The Heritage Society has been scanning the collection to our website to share with our extended community.
As we continue to build new collections, we are seeking new materials such as photographs and ephemera that pertain to the community and business history of Essex and Middle River. Please contact essexmuseum@gmail.com if you have historical memories or items to donate or would like to become a member.

My father is in this picture, Thomas Hoffman 2nd row 4th from the right. He grew up to be a Baltimore County firefighter at station 7 before his death in 1996.
I was not looking for this picture I was looking to see if I could find his father Larry Hoffman who was a Boy Scout leader until his death in the 1970s. I am glad I saw it as I have never seen my father in his Cub Scout years.
I grow up in Hawthorne, I am in the third row, second from the right. Tom Korman.
I know many names on the picture. Thanks for sharing.
