Mount Hope Farm

Mount Hope Farm is a historic estate spanning 127 acres along Mount Hope Bay with gardens, trails, and structures from different eras. The property combines natural landscape with buildings and grounds that reflect its long occupation and use.

The estate was founded in 1745 by Isaac Royall Jr., a wealthy colonist who fled to England during the American Revolution, resulting in government seizure of the property.

The grounds tell the story of Indigenous peoples, Colonial settlers, and farming through exhibits and educational programs you can experience during your visit. These different layers of human presence remain visible in how the land is used and presented today.

The property welcomes visitors daily from 8 AM to 6 PM without admission fees, though access may be limited during private events held on the grounds. Check ahead to confirm the grounds are open before planning your visit.

A Saturday farmer's market runs year-round on the grounds, bringing local produce and activity to the site. The property also holds certification as a Level One Arboretum, reflecting its botanical importance.
