Really enjoyed visiting here, the site is well-maintained and the house is incredible. The tour is really in-depth, and there's lots of cool things to see in the house and on the property. Great for spending a morning or afternoon here.

Interesting place. Kinda solemn though when you think about the slaves that lived there. I was definitely disappointed after our visit when our tour guide (a BLACK woman) completely "whitewashed," the history of the plantation and the slave industry in Maryland. This chic actually told us that slavery wasn't really a thing in Maryland and all of the black servants in Maryland were there of their own free will and could leave at any time. She went on to say that maintaining slaves was expensive so plantation owners in Maryland couldn't afford to keep them. I was so disturbed

We were on the same tour with the persons who gave the one star review today. Slavery was crucial to the operation of this magnificent estate. The owners had many and were very rich. They were also cruel slave owners. It’s part of the history of the mansion. Nothing presented by the docent was politically motivated. The tour featured the architecture and history of this part of Baltimore.

my daughter and i came to appreciate the amazing architecture and history of this home. instead the tour guide focused only on the elitism and cruelty of the family to its enslaved population. there’s a time and place for political and ethical conversations and this was totally inappropriate.

As far as I'm aware that's not something they do
Great comment. It's extremely important to be aware of the history of places built on the backs of underrepresented and underreported peoples. There is a walking tour of the house with the "house" (white) history, and another for the "other" (non-white) history. They do not make any effort to pretend that the slave Masters and owners were kind of forgiving. They do their best to educate the audience on the importance of not covering up history.
Yes, there are bathrooms in the visitor’s center that are open.
The grounds are open from dawn to dust. They do have a gate that closes at dark.
