SITES AND MUSEUMS
Belair Mansion
Built ca. 1745, Belair was home of provincial governor Samuel Ogle, and also the home of Maryland's first Thoroughbred racehorses. Ogle's terraced gardens boasted a deerpark, a vineyard, and greenhouse to support his elegant Georgian-style plantation home. Remaining in family ownership through the 19th century, the estate was acquired in 1898 by the Woodward family who continued the farm's horse racing legacy and restored and enlarged the great mansion house. It is furnished to reflect over 200 years of private ownership.
