Map Showing Savage, Maryland and Vacinity

Savage is located in southeastern Howard County, almost exactly half way between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. A former cotton mill town, until about 15 years ago it remained an isolated rural village along the banks of the Little Patuxant river. The old mill, parts of which date back to the early 1800's, is now an antiques mall, and Savage has become a bedroom community for commuters working in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Even still, the original village area near the mill remains largely unchanged in appearance from 80 years ago, and the community has maintained much of its small-town charm.
