Hard Bargain Farm, Historic house in Prince George's County, United States

Hard Bargain Farm is the former country estate and working farm of Alice and Henry G. Ferguson at 2001 Bryan Point Road in Accokeek, Maryland, overlooking the Potomac River. The property, now a smaller portion of the 330 acres they purchased, includes a heavy timber frame tobacco barn originally built between about 1830 and 1850 and rebuilt after the Civil War.

Alice and Henry G. Ferguson assembled the estate, and Alice studied the prehistoric remains at the Accokeek Creek Site on land they later donated for Piscataway Park. They created the Ferguson Foundation in 1954 to manage the property. Its heavy timber frame tobacco barn was built between about 1830 and 1850 and rebuilt after the Civil War. The farm joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

The Ferguson Foundation, set up by the couple in 1954, runs the farm as an educational center on land stewardship and historical farming practices. Its yearly calendar includes the Pinot on the Potomac fundraiser and Potomac River litter cleanups, which bring volunteers onto the riverside land.

The site is reached by car at 2001 Bryan Point Road in Accokeek, overlooking the Potomac River. The Fergusons' original 330 acres are now only partly preserved, so the farm buildings and country garden occupy a smaller area. The Ferguson Foundation runs the property as an educational center; check its program before visiting.

Alice Ferguson studied the prehistoric remains at the Accokeek Creek Site, which now lies in Piscataway Park on land the Fergusons donated. The site was first studied by her, and it is this archaeological work, rather than any collection kept at the farm, that links the estate to early regional archaeology.
