A
beautiful
mansion
on
top
of
a
well
positioned
hill
and
visible
to
anyone
on
route
1
and
Monroe
Street
is
one
of
the
few
remaining
buildings
let
alone
mansions
in
the
state
of
Maryland!
This
historic
site
has
had
past
first
ladies,
presidents,
and
congressmen.
One
in
particular
is
Martha
Washington
the
wife
of
our
first
president
George
Washington.
She
was
so
inspired
by
Mount
Clair's
green
house
(that
was
the
first
green
house
with
tropical
and
exotic
plants
in
the
US!)
that
she
made
the
first
green
house
in
the
White
House!
Another
thing
that
the
mansion
is
known
for
is
the
gardens
and
land!
The
original
building
still
stands
but,
many
repairs
have
been
made
and
additions
have
been
added
and
removed.
The
house
is
filled
with
the
original
families
belongings!
The
belongings
of
the
Carroll
family
look
brand
new!
More
and
more
pieces
of
the
families
belongs
are
added
regularly.
Charles
Carroll's
baby
crib
to
chamber
pot
are
in
the
house!
The
tour
guides
are
amazing
and
help
kids
learn
about
the
mansion
and
the
Carroll
family.
The
mansion
has
a
discount
price
with
the
B&O
Railroad
Museum
making
it
easy
to
get
to
after
a
quick
train
ride
to
the
mansion's
train
dock.
This
is
a
great
place
to
visit
if
you
come
to
Baltimore
because
it
has
survived
3
wars
and
is
still
standing
beautifully!
Not
to
mention
you
can
walk
where
all
the
famous
people
before
you
have
walked!
