Our Building

The Discovery Station at Hagerstown is located in the beautiful, historic Nicodemus Bank building at 101 West Washington Street across from the Washington County courthouse. The original bank housed the Federal Depository during the Civil War. The magnificent main vault with leaded glass was installed in 1913. The building's three floors contain 5 vaults. With its white marble exterior and soaring palladium windows, it is one of the most architecutrally significant buildings in downtown Hagerstown.

During your tour of Discovery Station, you can examine the mammoth main vault door and mechanisms and enter the vault, where an exhibit of crystals, gem stones, geos, fossils, rocks and other interesting objects can be viewed.
