Artifact Overview
Susquehanna Plantation, home to the Carroll family, was one of the largest, most productive farms in southern Maryland during the 1800s. Its success was made possible through the labor of 75 enslaved African Americans. The Maryland plantation house on the Patuxent River--one room deep with long front and back porches designed for ventilation--is seen here at its original site.
