Preservation at Hampton National Historic Site (NPS Story Map)

An NPS Story Map created to support public engagement for HAMP 326087, a major preservation project at Hampton National Historic Site, which preserves the core of a historic plantation in Towson, Maryland. Scheduled to begin construction at the end of 2024, the project will repair up to fourteen historic structures and improve accessibility within surrounding landscape areas. Improving building conditions and accessibility will support the National Park Service's goal of enhancing visitor experience at Hampton National Historic Site. The work will facilitate the public's exploration and understanding of the complex history of Hampton and the people who lived and labored there, including those who were enslaved by the Ridgely family, the plantation's historic owners.
