Hard Bargain Farm, Historic house in Prince George's County, United States
Hard Bargain Farm extends across 330 acres of land overlooking the Potomac River, featuring a timber frame tobacco barn from the 1830s.
Alice and Henry Ferguson purchased the property and transformed it into a country estate, where Alice studied prehistoric archaeological remains found on the grounds.
The Ferguson Foundation manages the property as an educational center focused on teaching land stewardship and historical farming practices of the region.
The property includes an outdoor amphitheater that hosts local theater performances from spring through fall, with tickets available for both adults and students.
The farm's timber frame tobacco barn, constructed between 1830 and 1850, underwent reconstruction during the period following the American Civil War.
