About the Reisterstown Library

The building which houses the Reisterstown Library dates back to the 1820s when it was known as the Franklin Academy. In 1874, it became the first high school in Baltimore County and it became the Reisterstown Library in 1961. 1995 renovations included a larger parking lot and an 1,800 square foot addition.

The Reisterstown Historical Room, located on the second floor, has a collection of local history and is open to the public on Tuesday afternoons from noon to 3 p.m. and on the first three Saturdays of each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
