Mt Clare Museum House

Mount Clare Museum House, located in Baltimore, MD, is a National Historic Landmark that offers a glimpse into the complexities of American history through its dual legacy of elegant living and tragic enslavement. The museum showcases a significant collection of 18th and 19th-century decorative arts while also providing insights into the industrial development of the site and the diverse individuals who labored there.

Founded by Charles Carroll Barrister and his wife Margaret Tilghman Carroll, Mount Clare reflects the wealth and political influence of the Carroll family, largely derived from the unpaid labor of enslaved people, indentured servants, and transported convicts. The museum is dedicated to preserving this heritage and telling the stories of all who lived and worked at the plantation, contextualizing the impact of the past on contemporary America.
