Mount Clare Museum House

Mount Clare Museum House is Maryland's first museum house and one of the oldest and finest examples of colonial Georgian architecture in the city. Mount Clare is a 1760 colonial Georgian home built by one of Maryland’s leading patriots and one of our first state senators, Charles Carroll, Barrister. Mount Clare was the center of Georgia Plantation, a self-sufficient plantation with a diverse community. Because of its exceptional value in interpreting the rich national heritage, Mount Clare was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The museum has one of the finest privately owned decorative arts collections in the country, most of which belonged to the Carroll family.
