Whitehall reception to Honor
Heritage Society

Join us on June 5 as we recognize the founding members of our Heritage Society, those who have donated $2,500 or more to Preservation Maryland in a single year. A reception honoring these individuals, corporations and foundations will be held at Whitehall, the home of Maryland's last royal governor Horatio Sharpe. The circa 1765 mansion is located near Annapolis overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.

Owned by the Brandywine Foundation, Whitehall has not been accessible to the public for many years. Colonial architects Joseph Anderson, who also worked on the Maryland State House are associated with its construction. Whitehall is one of Maryland's 72 National Historic Landmarks. Portions of the interior will be opened to guests at the reception. For details of the event, click here. To view and print the reply card, click here.
