This photo was taken from a book entitled Inventory of Historic Sites in
Caroline County, which was based on a historic site survey conducted by
Michael Bourne, Architectural Consultant, and published in 1980 by the
Maryland Historical Trust. The photos and descriptions are used with
their permission. After scanning, the quality of some of the photos was not quite what I'd like them to be, but I hope you enjoy seeing them anyway. |

WILLOW GROVE Circa
1770-1790
Willow Grove is situated inland from the major waterways of the county.
It is one of the major dwellings of the county and resembles in plan two
other dwellings in Talbot County: Pleasant Valley, built in 1774, and
Galloway, built around 1780. Col. Matthew Driver constructed the
mansion and had the surrounding lands surveyed in 1795 under the name
"Willow Grove." |
