Carrollton Manor

Carrollton Manor is a manor house in Frederick County featuring Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles with remarkably thick walls and original oak floors. The structure contains 21 rooms spread across a substantial property with period details and classical proportions throughout.

The estate was developed by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and became a significant property in 19th century Maryland. It received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1997, recognizing its historical importance.

The house reflects the life of Maryland's elite families and their ties to influential figures in early American history. Walking through the rooms, you get a sense of how the wealthy lived and entertained during that period.

The property is located in a rural setting surrounded by woodlands and is best visited by car. The grounds are quiet and somewhat remote, so it helps to plan your visit in advance.

The property once operated water-powered mills along the river that were integral to its operations. These mills processed grain from the land itself, representing a shift from the region's earlier tobacco economy.
