Harmony Hall, 18th-century plantation in Fort Washington, United States.
Harmony Hall is an 18th-century manor house in Fort Washington, Prince George's County, Maryland, known for its Georgian-style architecture. The two-story building has a symmetrical facade with a central entrance, evenly spaced windows, and detailed wooden trim along the exterior.
The property was built in 1769 and operated as a tobacco plantation through the colonial era and into the early years of the United States. Over time it changed hands several times before being recognized as a historic landmark.
The name reflects the idea of a harmonious household and ordered plantation life. Visitors can see how family life unfolded through the rooms and understand what daily routines mattered to those who lived here.
The house is open to visitors Thursday through Sunday and is best explored on foot. The surrounding grounds are easy to walk through and give a good sense of the overall layout of the property.
The house is one of the few surviving 18th-century tobacco plantations in the region and retains much of its original floor plan. This makes it one of the more complete examples of colonial agricultural architecture in Maryland.
