Historic Sotterley

Historic Sotterley, a National Historic Landmark, and UNESCO Site of Memory for the Routes of Enslaved People, is a remnant of an almost 6,000 acre plantation farm with an interpreted history dating back to the turn of the 18th century. Sotterley was a site of slavery for 165 years and was home to the sixth governor of Maryland. Sotterley today consists of almost 100 acres of breathtaking beauty on the Patuxent River that includes over six miles of nature trails, Colonial Revival Gardens, and over 20 historic buildings. The Manor House had its beginnings in 1703 and has undergone many changes and additions over time. Sotterley’s only surviving original 19th century Slave Cabin illustrates the lives of many St. Mary’s County people from the mid-1800s into the early 20th century. We invite you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Sotterley and also its rich stories of history and cultures.
