I have to tell you what a great find this was! The grounds here are absolutely impeccable, and the mansion is simply gorgeous. A really beautiful piece of architecture. Not as opulent as the mansions of Newport, but you really do get a sense of what a sourthern plantation was back in the day. And the best part is that... More

Visited this site during the week late in the day around 4:00PM and caught the last tour through the house that was built in the late 1700's. The docent was excellent. She started by introducing us to the family through the family pictures in the great room where we started our tour. Then as we proceeded through the rooms we... More

On a very chilly Saturday afternoon, our family decided to visit Hampton Mansion. It had been years since we last visited and knew that some great progress had been made since word gets around Baltimore pretty quickly. This property has an extensive history dating back to the mid-late 1700s and the family tree, business dealings and local history is all... More

This historical site is not only gorgeous, but so much information was provided. The docent was very knowledgeable and spent an hour telling us all about the generations that lived in the house and the history of the property. After a thorough guided tour of the mansion, you are free to roam the grounds and see the gardens and other... More

We came across this enormous mansion purely by accident and what a find! If it hadn't been 30 degrees I would have strolled around the expansive grounds that must be just wonderful in the spring and there are outbuildings that can be toured as well. The decor of the rooms is beautiful and the admission price of $0 for the... More

First off, you'll love the admission price...IT'S FREE! Take the whole family! This is a beautiful home and site and the garden is beautiful as well. The many restored rooms are just gorgeous. The many bold colors they used back in the old days are amazing! Most of the outbuildings can be visited now also, but you'd best check first... More

This is a hidden gem.you access the park through a suburban development.It is almost a shock to come out of the development into this vista of history.This park traces the history of basically one family.The original house the family started with is there.Eventually they were wealthy enough to build the incredible mansion.There are a number of out buildings including a...

My friends and I used to go their often. When they closed the small lunch room, it just lost something. We would go for lunch, shop at the giftshop and take the tour. They needed to listen to the women who were regulars.
