Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation, Bringing the Farm to Life
Meet and converse with HSMC staff as you step back in time and explore a middling class plantation from the 1600s.. This site, its structures, fields, cows, pigs, chickens, and inhabitants represent life as it was during the heyday of tobacco culture in colonial Maryland.
We invite you to discover how different and similar the Spray plantation is from American Civil War plantations. Experience seasonal activities at the Godiah Spray Plantation such as:
17th-Century Agricultural Practices (corn and tobacco)
Hearth Cooking
