Springfield Farm

Springfield Farm is a historic agricultural property in Williamsport, Maryland, featuring a two-story farmhouse and several outbuildings on its grounds. The site includes a large barn with original wooden roof details and two smaller stone structures that served different functions on the working farm.

This property was established in the late 1700s by a military officer who played a role in the Revolutionary War and continued as a working farm for generations. The buildings reflect changes in agricultural methods and farm life over nearly two centuries.

The barn reveals how people once lived and worked on this land, offering visitors insight into the rural way of life in this area. Preserved objects and building details tell the story of daily farm tasks and seasonal rhythms.

The property is now used for special events and visitors who want to see the museum collection housed in the barn. Wear sturdy shoes since the historic buildings are accessed across natural ground and unpaved pathways.

Two of the oldest stone structures on the property were built to store spring water and produce distilled spirits, showing how diverse the farming operations were. These outbuildings remain rare examples of this type of specialized farm work in the region.
