Hays-Heighe House, Historic stone house in Bel Air, Maryland, US.

The Hays-Heighe House stands as a five-bay stone structure with two massive brick chimneys and a two-story eastern wing on the Harford Community College campus.

Thomas A. Hays, one of Bel Air's founders, constructed this residence in 1808, which later earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

The property holds significance as a documented Underground Railroad site, from which Sam Archer successfully escaped enslavement to Pennsylvania in 1860.

Located at 401 Thomas Run Road, the house maintains regular hours for public tours, exhibits, and educational programs, with details available at 443-412-2539.

The Hays-Heighe House stands as the first location in Harford County to receive recognition in the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program.
