Patterson House & Gardens
The public is invited to share memories of Calvert County, the Patterson Family, JPPM or people who may have once worked this land. If you do not have a story to share, come enjoy the tour and hear the memories of others. Point Farm was the country retreat of the late Mr. & Mrs. Jefferson Patterson. In 1983 Mrs. Patterson donated the property to the state in honor of her late husband, creating Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum. Join us for a guided tour of this beautiful 1933 Colonial Revival brick house and gardens designed by noted female architects Gertrude Sawyer and Rose Greely.
NOTE: The Patterson House is currently closed for renovations. Contact information to arrange for tours will be posted when the building reopens.
