Hampton National Historic Site preserves portions of the 18th-century Hampton Mansion, located just north of the city of Towson in Baltimore County, Maryland.
The estate served as the home of the Ridgley family for seven generations between the 18th and 20th centuries and was the largest private home in America at its completion.
Today, it is considered to be one of the nation's finest preserved examples of Georgian architecture, showcasing a preserved manor house, gardens, and original intact stone-constructed slave quarters. The site was selected as a National Historic Site in 1948, the first site of its kind to be selected by the National Park Service. Visitors can tour the site's buildings and grounds throughout the week as part of self-guided tours during daylight hours.
