The Sang Run Election House is the only documented standing election house in Western Maryland. The building was constructed in 1872 and had a complete restoration that was completed in 2020. Twenty-five Presidential elections were held inside the Sang Run Election House. The final use of this election house was for the election between Richard Nixon and George McGovern in 1972. The election house was not only a place to cast your vote but a voice of the community. In 1914 seven women marched through Garrett and Allegany counties seeking support for women's suffrage and the right to vote. Sang Run's election house was one of their stops to gain support during their 110 mile journey. These efforts helped pave the way for the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Head out to Sang Run State Park and visit this standing piece of history within Garrett County.
