Homewood House Museum

3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218

The Homewood Museum is a historical museum located on the Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore. It was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, noted as a home of Maryland's Carroll family. Along with Evergreen Museum & Library, it makes up the Johns Hopkins University Museums.

The Homewood Estate was offered as a wedding gift in 1800 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the longest surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, to his son Charles Carroll Jr. The house was the birthplace of John Lee Carroll in 1830, who would become Governor of Maryland.

Homewood is furnished today as it would have been in the 19th century. It is home to the Homewood Museum, which features period furnishings that complement its architecture.
