Phill W

Wonderful place to visit as part of our Laurel, MD heritage.

JM Roth

Self guided tour so visitors get out of it what you put into it. Take time to really look, wander, and read the booklet. Very educational and interesting. Well kept. Excellent view into our history.

Laura McCombs

Very nice piece of history!

MKUU KAYA

Cool

Jane Guida

Not alot to do or see, The childrens barn had coloring and books available for kids but its not worth the ten dollars. Self tour and I believe they have events here and there but it really wasnt alot to see or do..

Located in Laurel, MD. It was the home of the Snowden Family. House is in need of major roof repairs so ir takes away from what was a major historical site. Nonetheless the grounds are beautiful and people rent it for weddings and other outdoor venues

Lynn Dahle

Fun place to tour. Lots of grounds to walk around on.

NANCY O'DONNEL

Beautiful, elegant, breathtaking historic mansion.

Max O'Grady

Beautiful mansion and grounds nestled in PG County, Maryland. There’s also an arts center on the grounds that hosts pottery classes, which is awesome. Would definitely recommend this as a neat to stop by in the area (it’s also free!)!

Nicole Jefferson

I love this place. The grounds transform you to a place of tranquilty that you would expect to find in this area. There are majestic trees which provide shade in the summer. The herb garden is small but tranquil. You will enjoy sitting amounts the smells. At any day they have photoshoots on the grounds for weddings, Qiceneras (?) Or family photos. They have a summer playground for kids, home school events and a fabulous festival. I didnt even talk about the teas or house yet but its a must see in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Maryland.

Pat Stakem

Very well maintained historic mansion from the 1700's. Knowledgable staff. Formal gardens. Take the "hidden spaces" tour. Offered about twice a year. Basement and attic. Well maintained.

Julia Planes

A neat historical site with guided or self-paced tours, some activities for kids, and a lot of local artifacts.

Matthew Simmons

This was a very cool piece of our countries history. I didn't really like how the 15 minute video and a 5 minute walk to the mansion are part of your hour long tour. Our tour guide wasn't really into the idea very many questions. A lot of irrelevant information not pertaining to the house itself. Although interesting, I would have rather filled the time with an opprtunity for questions. It was a beautiful part of history that I would recommend anyone you take the time to see if they can. I'm glad there are orginizations who help keep these places alive.

Alicia Koepke

This place is so beautiful. My family and I enjoyed walking around the grounds and touring the Mansion at our own pace. There is even a room where kids (and adults :) can play with time period toys and clothes. **My family of 4 got in for free (3/31/18) because they have an exhibit up so make sure you check to see if they are running any deals**

Theo de Jager

Beautiful mansion and grounds, with an adjacent arts center that offers a range of different exhibits and classes.

Kevin Price

A fun day trip, lots of history to see

Nadia P

A beautiful historic home. They hold afternoon tea events a few times a year, and those are wonderful. Helpful staff.

Liz Glodek

Beautiful home and self-guided tour is nice. It was around Halloween when we went and they had kitschy decorations around the house if that's something you enjoy. I imagine they do it at other holidays, too. It was not distracting, though!

Audrey Ritchon

It was not Free but worth the visit the mansion had great activities for kids very interactive great learning environment for all ages

Sarah Arrieta

Great photo-op

Evan Nevermore

The mansion, garden and grounds are gorgeous. I would visit here much more often if it were closer. One of the docents (Joe) made the tour great. He answered a million questions with enthusiasm. You could really tell that history is his thing, which is the best kind of person to learn from. It would be nice if the museum would include more history on the Snowden family's ownership of slaves, it was kinda like it was swept under the rug. Had Joe not mentioned it, the museum itself gives very little indication that slavery occurred there. The details of the home are something to behold though. We went for the tea and herb festival, which was very pleasant. We bought a fair share of things ranging from honey to spices.

Jack Adams

Claimed to have 128 slaves but I didn't see any

Condi Atlan

Laurel Maryland is a city that discriminates against Christians. Be sure to keep this in mind before you choose to visit Laurel, MD

Faith Ebersole

Didn't go inside the building (other than the art one for a bathroom) as we we're here in the morning before opening. Spent morning walking around. Not much in terms of gardens but the ground was still pretty for a short morning walk.

Casimir Campagna

It's a nice venue. The facilities themselves aren't particularly fancy, but the mansion has a historical background. The grounds around the mansion are fairly well kept, although the garden needed weeding and trimming, and the benches had moss (making sitting down on them in dress clothing an unpleasant thought). I was only a guest for a small graduation party, but I expect it's a good deal and decent venue for the price.

Peter Roehrich

Gorgeous old mansion. Be sure to check out the maps, the mouldings, and the floor cloth. Staff was very friendly and took time to answer all of my questions. Will certainly return with guests.

Eugene McColgan

Beautiful place for a wedding!

Bill Taylor

Have been driving by for over 40 years but finally stopped over Labor Day Weekend. What a hidden jewel of Maryland history!! Beautiful grounds and buildings, culminating in a vintage mansion. Very friendly and helpful staff. We'll be back to learn more local culture. Don't miss this!

kimberly sneed

lovely scenic location if you just want to unplug from the city and soak in some maryland history. also nice place for weddings

DON'T CARE

Beautiful

Greg Angus

Beautiful property a nice place to go for a stroll or plan your wedding events.

Tim McRoy

It's definitely worth a look. Seeing the main house in it's entirety takes about an hour. Then about one more hour to see the grounds.

John Schwartz

Beautiful Grounds and an amazing house!

Judy Hagemann

Interesting place. The art barn. Is like a mini Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Va. The mansion and the history is fascinating. I've lived in the area for basically 30 years and I finally made it, so glad I did.

Keith B

Really cool place to walk around. They offer a tour of the mansion on weekends, I believe.

Henry J. Herr

Beautiful mansion surrounded by lots of green lawns.

carventass

It's a self guided tour

Angela Manor

Very nice and quiet grounds. Great for a pleasant walk.

Alanon john

A good variety of vendors not overpopulated four times during the day they have a place where you have tea and scones which is a nice little rest overall very nice

Bob Chancler

Nice historic mansion and grounds in the middle of hubbub

Shardae Brantley

Interesting experience

James Niederer

Beautiful Mansion and grounds. Great place to spend an hour or two in the summer and see some history.

Lisa Wright

This place is beautiful

Tracey Hunt

People were friendly, but would have liked a tour by a person. Self guided tour was fine. Also would like more personal and detailed information about the owners and slaves.

Mariam Eltoweissy

Attended the tea, arts and garden festival at the end of April. The location was well kept and festival hosted a good variety of local vendors. Definitely heck out the mansion for some historical perspective if you're in the area.

Alex Guida

there is nothing inside its not worth it

Ryan

Beautifully decorated for Christmas time and candlelight tour!

maria rooney

Nice place for concerts in the evening

Robyn J

This is a self guided tour provided with a pamphlet of interesting facts about the mansion. It is not well lit to preserve the home and items inside. We went during June and their want much cool air or circulation in the two story mansion. It gives a realistic feel though to the conditions of the times. The mannequins were a bit frightening and we were caught off guard in the quietness of the property, specially after seeing Get Out. Very educational journey and kind, knowledgeable staff.

Michael kaguyutan

A good place for a history buff to learn some local history. Tour guides were very knowledgable and entertaining too!

Krystal Morton

Lots of history the house is old and you get to see how they lived. The downside is they really don't take care of the side yard
