Belair Mansion was built around 1745 and served as the home of several governors of Maryland over the years. Later it became the home of famous American horse breeder William Woodward. This historic place showcases the lives and times of its inhabitants during the years of 1747-1950. Collections on display include 18th-century paintings, American crafted furnishings, and family silver. Belair Mansion had a significant influence on thoroughbred horse racing and is one of only two stables to raise two Triple Crown winners. Both the home and the stables are museums open to the public and operated by the city of Bowie.
