A National Historic Landmark, Mount Clare is a
Georgian mansion built in 1760 by Charles Carroll, Barrister. Mount Clare houses
an impressive collection of 18th century and early 19th century furnishings and
decorative arts belonging to the Barrister, his wife, Margaret Tilghman Carroll,
and their heirs.
Through the efforts of The National
Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Maryland, the
city of Baltimore, and its Park and Recreation Department, Baltimore's
oldest residence has been beautifully maintained to reflect life in Maryland
two and one-half centuries ago.
Mount Clare is located just 5 minutes from Baltimore's Inner
Harbor. Free parking. NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
