Paca House and Garden

The five-part mansion features a central block with two end pavilions, connecting hyphens, and a two-acre garden with formal parterres and a kitchen area.

William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Maryland's third governor, constructed this residence between 1763 and 1765.

The interior contains a center hall plan with original woodwork and a Chinese Chippendale balustrade in the stair hall, reflecting colonial architectural elements.

Visitors can take guided tours of the house for 12 dollars or explore the restored garden independently for 5 dollars, with discounts for children and members.

The garden includes a fish-shaped pond crossed by a lattice bridge and contains sections dedicated to physics gardens, wilderness areas, and native plants.
