This is a Georgian mansion built between 1754 and 1768 and was the home of Charles Carroll. Carroll was a barrister who was a framer of Maryland's first constitution and Declaration of Rights. What was a plantation in the 18th C. became surrounded by railroad yards, etc. many of which are still to be seen. The mansion and its surrounding property were purchased to be a park in 1890. What is it with these local historical societies? The above was from the plaque in the thumbnail. Charles Carroll was also Maryland's signer of the Declaration of Independence (not an ignorable fact).
