The Benson-Hammond House

"Nice area for Flea Market. Staff was helpful. Space for parking next to vending set up."

"Our family loves the strawberry festival! We go every year! The house is so interesting and love how it's staying together with the help of the original families ancestors. And we must say, they keep the grounds amazing, always in tip top shape!"

"I went last year (2021) and this year (2022) for the spring craft fair. It was open air and hot but nice. I would recommend going around midday (if you go for a craft fair) and bringing some cash and a lunch to eat there. For a regular visit, I would recommend the same but you don't need cash. You can enjoy a tour of the house and if you want, there are some souvenirs for the house itself. I have gone once for an actual tour and I thought it was interesting and pretty cool. Would recommend for ages 10+"

"Didn't know this HISTORY. So many farm lands.... Maryland had several black family farms. Not PLANTATIONS. So Many amazing things in this house ."

"Interesting local history, about the city folks coming out to harvest crops. A great tour when open (for instance, during the annual Strawberry Festival in June.)"
