The grand history of this home and property with its fascinating story and architecture showcases period style historic country living balanced with spectacular upgrades to give a perfect blend of Early American charm and modern living conveniences. Dating to 1795 the original home was added to over the years as the farm prospered and enjoyed several transformations from humble growing home to country inn and community gathering place on the original Baltimore Pike.
