Looking for a spot to learn what Cumberland and the Allegany County area in general area all about? This is the place! Very knowledgeable and kind staff.

Situated inside state government offices can be found on second floor. Beautiful decor and design, well maintained and colorful.

Staff was very friendly and was able to inform our whole group on the Allegheny history. It’s free and a good place to spend 30 mins to an hour. Call before you arrive to make sure they are open.

This quiant museum posts a great overview of the history of the region, highlighting the beer production, whiskey rebellion, local artists, and the glass and rubber factories that helped the town survive. The loss of the industries is hard to overstate, but it us great seeing the history remembered while the town thrives.

A very nice collection of artifacts, from modern times and prehistoric. Ancient arrowheads, glass works, tire manufacturing, breweries, and a great place to learn the history of the area. Very helpful staff.

Lots of local history items. Not nearly as comprehensive as Allegheny implies. But the price is right!

Whenever my husband and I travel to Western Maryland to visit friends, we make sure we stop at the Allegany Museum to experience this gem of a museum. With each visit, we learn more of the significance of this area in the State of Maryland and nationwide. The oversight of this museum has been thoroughly and sensitively handled. The exhibits have been keenly developed to demonstrate the importance of Allegany County in the industrial revolution, as well as the crucial part it played in the development of the transportation system and coal industry of the United States.You will find that the Allegany Museum will appeal to both adults and children and you will come away with a fuller understanding and appreciation of this pristine, beautiful mountain area.

Terribly small and currently a massive construction maze. It was quite obvious who sponsored this museum. I hated that WAY too much was donated to one company. It shouldnt be called a county museum, instead it should be named after the only company they even acknowledge.
