Review:

Rackliffe House is an historic homestead which dates back to the 1740’s, when it was built to be the home of merchant/planter Captain Charles Rackliffe. The 2-storey house was a very impressive structure back in the day, and its prominence was enhanced by its elevated location overlooking Assateague Island and Sinepuxent Bay. The house has been beautifully preserved and restored and gives visitors a very accurate picture of everyday life in the 1700’s. During the open season visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the house and see costumed docents who bring the “good old days” back to life. Rackliffe House is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursday from mid-May to October.

Rackliffe House, Behind the Visitor’s Center, Assateague Island, Berlin, MD 21811, 410 629 1011
