SAVAGE
A glimpse of
A FORMER BUSTLING MILL TOWN,
SAVAGE WAS AN IMPORTANT
MANUFACTURING HUB IN THE
NORTHEAST FOR MORE THAN
100 YEARS.
Today, the
Savage Mill
Historic District
retains
many of the original buildings
from its heyday. The area was
placed on the National Register
of Historic Places in 1974.
Rams Head Tavern
features aged
Black Angus beef and fresh (never frozen!)
seafood. Open seven days a week, it has
been Rams Head’s commitment to great
food and great beer that has allowed it to
thrive in Savage for nearly thirty years.
Explore automotive history
at
Bob’s Vintage BMW
Museum
. Showcasing
more than sixty-five
vintage and classic
BMW motorcycles and
side cars, memorabilia,

is free to the public.
The original
Sweet Cascades
Chocolatier
opened in 2005 in
Old Ellicott City and was able to
expand thanks to its loyal following.
Offering a selection that ranges from
traditional truffles all the way to chocolate-
covered bacon, every sweet creation is
hand-made and mouth-watering. (You can
also find their chocolates, milkshakes and
other sweet treats at the
Say Cheese Grill
,
located across from the chocolate shop.)

fought heroically in the American
Revolutionary War and the War of
1812. You can learn more about him

Building at Historic Savage Mill.
