Shopping Nature River Manufacturing Historic Maryland

Savage is situated off of I-95 and Maryland Route 32, between Baltimore and Washington D.C. This former mill town features a variety of amenities, including upscale dining and shopping destinations, nature trails, plus easy access to nearby golf courses, casinos, and the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Its history began in 1820, when Amos Williams and his brothers founded a textile business on Little Patuxent River, using investment money from good friend John Savage. The river helped power the mill’s machines which produced mostly canvas for boat sails, except during the Civil War and World Wars when it also manufactured uniforms, tents, and canon covers. The mill was in operation for more than a century, and in 1984 was transformed into a marketplace with distinct specialty shops, art galleries, jewelry stores, and restaurants – now recognized as the Savage Mill Historic District.

Up the road on Fair Street is the Savage Mill Manor House. Built in 1884, the house is a popular venue for weddings and special events.
