THE ABERDEEN ROOM ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM, INC acquires, records, and displays memorabilia and artifacts that relate to the social, economic, and cultural development of the city of Aberdeen. All interested persons are welcome and are invited to visit, utilize, and enjoy the museum and archival facilities provided.
Incorporated in 1991 as a non-profit organization, the Aberdeen Room is an historical and educational facility of the City of Aberdeen. Affiliated with the Harford County Historical Society and Aberdeen Appearance and Preservation Committee, the Aberdeen Room Archives and Museum was established by Charlotte Garretson Cronin in 1987. It is staffed by interested citizens who donate their time and talents to the maintenance and improvement of this facility. The nucleus of the first displays came from the office of the late Senator J.
Wilmer Cronin, Aberdeen lawyer, legislator, newspaper editor and
publisher, and the native American collection of Clinton
Sterling Garretson. The family concept was furthered as other families searched their attics, basements and desk drawers.
DESCRIPTION OF MATERIALS ON DISPLAY
There are: an original 1852 plat of the town of Aberdeen, costumes of the early 20th century, old telephone books, canning devices, yearbooks,
photograph binders of City activities and mementos from Aberdeen Elementary and Aberdeen High School, local church histories, 1918 and later Army pictures and brochures from Aberdeen Proving Ground, sports equipment - mostly baseball, artifacts and assorted paraphernalia from older Aberdeen business establishments, local newspapers dating from 1919, Indian relics, and many other materials related to the cultural and economic development of Aberdeen.
