Perry Point Mansion House and Mill

Perry Point Mansion House and Mill is a complex featuring a two-and-a-half-story gray mansion and a stone grist mill built into the riverbank. The buildings represent different construction periods and serve as examples of the properties' varying functions over time.

The property passed from Lord Baltimore to George Talbot in 1680, then came under Captain Richard Perry's ownership in 1710, establishing its present name. These successive transfers shaped how the land developed and was used over the following centuries.

The grounds hold artifacts left by the Susquehannock Indians who first lived here, telling the story of early settlement in Maryland. Visitors can see how this land was used before European colonization changed its character.

The structures stand within the Perry Point VA Medical Center campus, which covers 400 acres and provides medical services to veterans. Since this is an active medical facility, visitors should expect specific access guidelines before exploring the historic buildings.

During the War of 1812, these buildings escaped British attack while nearby properties suffered destruction. This made them rare survivors of that turbulent period in the region.
