300 Years of American Life on the Patuxent

Older than Mount Vernon, older than Monticello, older than the nation itself, Sotterley Plantation stands majestically on the banks of the Patuxent River.

It is the only remaining Tidewater Plantation in Maryland that is open to the public with a full range of visitor activities and educational programs.

Sotterley's History

Driving Directions

Roof Restoration Completed

Four of our historic outbuildings - the Corn Crib, the Warehouse, the Necessary, and the Tool Shed - underwent restoration of their aging cedar shingle roofs.

With the impending threat of deterioration to the substructures, the work was completed within a few weeks time by Kerry Shackelford and his crew from Museum Resources, Inc. under the direction of Sotterley’s Restoration Manager, John O’Rourke.
