Waters–Fulton Store and Post Office, also known as Water's Store, Fulton, is a historic home located in Fulton, Howard County, Maryland.

The post office and store served as the center of town for Fulton, Maryland. It is situated on a slave plantation purchased by Richard Waters in 1861. On December 29, 1874, the "Water's Store" post office opened. In 1877, a road was commissioned by the county between Water's Store and Souder House.[1] In 1887 Frederick Brinkman purchased the farm and store. The post office's name was changed to "Fulton" in 1887.[2]
