Whittaker Chambers Farm, Historic farm property in Westminster, Maryland
The Whittaker Chambers Farm consists of three tracts spanning approximately 390 acres of agricultural land with various outbuildings and structures.
During the Cold War era in December 1948, the farm gained national attention when Whittaker Chambers concealed microfilms known as the Pumpkin Papers on the property.
The property represents a significant connection to American political history through its role in the Alger Hiss espionage case of the late 1940s.
The farm remains private property owned by the Chambers family and continues to operate as an agricultural enterprise in Carroll County.
The farm received National Historic Landmark status in 1988, making an exception to the standard 50-year requirement for historical designation.
