If you are like me and love

5

If you are like me and love mansions this is one that you will fall in love with.
Dumbarton is located in Georgetown and has beautiful grounds and gardens as well as the museum.
The Dumbarton has also been featured in Martha Stewart's Weddings and the place to have the most wonderful wedding.
But that is not all there is about this beautiful place as it was built in the 1800's and is one of the best examples of the Federal Period.
This was the home of Joseph Norris the first register of the US Treasury, and he held this post through the terms of six presidents.
During the War of 1812 the home was purchased and named Belle-Vue which means "beautiful view" by Charles Carroll a cousin of the signer of Declaration of Independence.who lived here in Baltimore.
There is so much more history to Dumbarton and you will learn on a guided tour.
Please take time and visit this beautiful place.
