Description

Visit a "lost" colonial town and garden sanctuary on the South River. 

HISTORIC AREAS

  • William Brown House: The crown jewel of London Town's historic area. On the National Register of Historic Landmarks. Take an in-person or virtual tour.
  • Tenement: Reconstructed on its archaeological footprint, the Tenement would have been rented to London Town's lower-class workers. See events page for hearth cooking demonstrations.
  • Carpenter's Shop: Built on the shop's archaeological footprint. Discover the different tools that carpenters would have used and what they might have created. 
  • Discover London Town: This exhibit, in the bottom floor of our Visitor Center, orients visitors to the history of the site and shares the archaeology findings that were uncovered by the Anne Arundel County Archaeological Lab.

GARDEN AREAS

  • Sound and Sensory Garden: For children of all ages. Explore nature with musical instruments, discovery tables, and through a playset made of logs and other natural materials.
  • Woodland Garden: Features towering native trees, an extensive collection of magnolias, camellias, dogwoods, rhododendrons and viburnums, uncommon individual specimens of spring bulbs, woodland wildflowers, and shade-loving perennials.
  • Ornamental Gardens: The Cook Memorial Garden and the Lillian S. Hall Memorial Garden comprise the Ornamental Gardens. Daylilies, hydrangeas, roses, and crepe myrtles are featured in summer. Asters, mums, and salvias bloom in the fall.
  • Living Roof Garden: Between the Visitor Center and the Anne Arundel Archaeology Lab is a living roof (above the Discover London Town exhibit). This roof, the rain barrels, and rain garden in the dell are just some of the ways that London Town is committed to environmental stewardship.
