Small town neighborliness, big city mindset
Welcome to Dickeyville
A National Treasure
Dickeyville is an oasis in an urban setting, combining the charms of a small village with accessibility to interstate highways, international airports, and three bustling east-coast capital cities. Newcomers and long-time residents of Dickeyville, one of Baltimore’s most charming neighborhoods, bond together in their pride of living in a community rich in history and vibrant in community spirit. Once a bustling village with paper and textile mills, Dickeyville is named after the last mill owner, William J. Dickey. The Gwynn’s Falls, which once powered these mills, winds its way through the community and is now a scenic place for neighbors to gather.
The Dickeyville Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places-listed community located just inside the western edge of Baltimore City, Maryland and bordered by Leakin Park, America’s second largest urban park, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead of Central Park fame.
A small community of about 140 homes and a historic mill, the village is on the banks of the Gwynns Falls and lies at the start of the Gwynns Falls Trail, a 15-mile (24 km) walking and biking trail that is part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
