Marshall Hall, Colonial mansion ruins in Charles County, Maryland
The Marshall Hall ruins stand near the Potomac River, featuring remnants of what was once the largest house constructed in pre-1740 Maryland.
The property evolved from a grand colonial residence to a steamboat landing point, connecting local communities through trade and transportation across the Potomac River.
From 1958 to 1980, Marshall Hall transformed into an amusement park with Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and slot machines, attracting visitors from Washington DC.
Visitors can observe the ruins through a protective fence that surrounds the structure, which is part of the National Capital Parks-East system.
The mansion represents one of only two remaining examples of eighteenth-century one-and-a-half-story buildings in Maryland.
