Montgomery County, Maryland · Established 1853
The Linden-Lyttonsville Museum celebrates the resilience, contributions, and enduring spirit of one of Montgomery County’s oldest Black communities — and the free Black landowner who made it possible.
From Samuel Lytton’s four acres purchased in 1853 to a thriving multi-generational community, this is a story of land, freedom, and perseverance.
We are building a community archive of photographs, documents, oral histories, and artifacts that document life in Linden–Lyttonsville across generations.
This museum belongs to the community it honors. We welcome stories, photographs, and memories from residents, families, and neighbors past and present.
