Rackliffe House, Colonial house museum in Berlin, Maryland.
The brick house features three bays, Flemish bond brickwork with random glazed headers, steep gabled roof, and large windows overlooking Sinepuxent Bay.
Captain Charles Rackliffe constructed this coastal plantation residence in 1752 after receiving a 2,200-acre land grant in Northern Worcester County.
The property functioned as a working plantation with ten enslaved people who cultivated tobacco, corn, and wheat while tending to livestock including horses and cattle.
The house museum operates through Assateague State Park and offers guided tours during summer months, with access to the grounds available from sunrise to sunset.
Archaeological excavations at the site reveal artifacts from both Native American settlements and colonial inhabitants dating before 1650.
