Peerless Rockville works to preserve local history found in buildings, objects, writings and records. Its tools are education, example, advocacy and community involvement. It represents this commitment with the organization's office built it 1891, the old court house.
The organization has worked to preserve local historic landmarks such as the B&O Railroad Station, Red Brick Courthouse and Wire Hardware. It also helps residents and property owners research their property and get historic preservation status when possible. This is possible with their archives with more than 4,000 photographs, verbal histories and research materials.
The non-profit organization gets its name from a 1890 real estate promotional booklet to get people to move to the then-new Rockville subdivision of West End Park.
