Home of the St Mary's County Historical Society, the house built in 1798 is all that remains of an 1,100 acre plantation. The original deed from 1744 hangs in the Board Room (originally the balloon).
The building was owned 1st by the Barnes then by the Key family. It became the County's 1st library in 1951 then was sold to the Historical Society. It's on the National Registry of Historical Buildings and part of the Maryland Historical Trust list of protected properties.
The famous Moll Dyer Rock was relocated here in 2021 and is now protected and illuminated at night.
If you are into genealogy and the history of St Mary's County, this is the place.
