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 29 December 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 name was changed to "Fulton" in 1887.[2]
