Steppingstone Museum
The Steppingstone Museum is a non-profit educational and cultural institution, whose mission is to preserve and interpret the rural heritage of Harford County, Maryland.[1] It is located near the Susquehanna River in Harford County, just northwest of Havre de Grace, Maryland.
Today's museum displays, demonstrates, and cares for the original private collection of J. Edmund Bull, who amassed 7,000 tools and artifacts. The Bull collection was originally displayed at his home, which he dubbed Steppingstone.[2] In 1979, the museum relocated to the former Gilman Paul property, an 18th-century stone farm in Susquehanna State Park, and was expanded to include demonstrative displays of various vocational trades that were commonplace in rural communities of an earlier era. Barns and farm buildings surrounding the museum provide exhibitions showing the work of broom makers, blacksmiths, stone cutters, masons, and other tradesmen.[3]
The museum grounds are also home to special events relating to 19th and early 20th-century history.
