History

The area known as Perry Hall in Baltimore County gets its name from a nearly 250 year old mansion called the Perry Hall Mansion. From its early years in the late 18th century until now, it’s changed hands many times, it’s been damaged by fire and added-onto, and it’s played a role in some very important historical developments in our state.

About a dozen miles north of Frederick, before you get to Thurmont, you’ll see some plain stone and log homes. They look old. They are old. They're part of what’s left of the village that used to surround an active iron furnace, the Catoctin Furnace.
