Manage daily operations of the organization. Historic Hampton, Inc. was founded in 1979. Its mission is to promote directly the historical, scientific, educational and interpretive activities of the Hampton National Historic Site, located in Towson, MD and to accept gifts, contributions, or loans and otherwise engage in fundraising to finance and pay for the above mentioned activities in respect to which no funds from the Federal Government or other sources are available. Hampton National Historic Site, is a Federal Park managed by the National Park Service. It is a remnant of a vast 18th-century estate, including a Georgian manor house, gardens, grounds, and the original stone slave quarters. The estate was owned by the Ridgely family for seven generations, from 1745 to 1948. The Hampton Mansion was the largest private home in America when it was completed and today is considered to be one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the U.S. Its art and furnishings, together with the estate's slave quarters and other preserved structures, provide insight into the life of late 18th-century and early 19th-century landowning aristocracy. In 1948, Hampton was the first site selected as a National Historical Site for its architectural significance by the U.S. National Park Service. The grounds were widely admired in the 19th century for their elaborate parterres or formal gardens, which have been restored to resemble their appearance during the 1820s. Several trees are more than 200 years old. For more information on this Maryland gem, visit https://www.nps.gov/hamp/index.htm
