Welcome to Historic St. Mary's City

In 1634, Governor Leonard Calvert and a group of about 140 English settlers established their colony's capital here on the site of an American Indian village.

Archaeologists and historians are recovering traces of the colonial settlement. Many original buildings and roads have been re-created, and wooden "ghost-frames" mark the locations of other structures yet to be brought back to life. Come see how the early colonists lived, worked, and struggled to establish civil and religious freedoms.

Start your visit at our Visitor Center on Rosecroft Road (next right turn on Route 5, heading south), and explore Maryland's earliest days.
