Towson, MD – Hampton NHS, in accordance with Executive Orders issued by the Governor of the State of Maryland, and in an effort to support federal, state, and local efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is announcing additional modifications to operations.  

As of 5:00 pm on Saturday, March 28, 2020, Hampton National Historic Site will be closed to the public. This includes all park facilities, now including the parking lots and park gates. Park grounds will remain open to pedestrians from dawn to dusk.

While pedestrians are still permitted in the park from dawn to dusk, we ask that anyone in the park adhere to CDC guidelines on social distancing as well as Leave No Trace principles. Additional park signage is available as a reminder about park policies. Please assist National Park Service (NPS) staff by adhering to these guidelines for your safety as well as the safety of our important historic resources.

The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners at Hampton National Historic Site is our number one priority. The NPS is working with federal, state, and local authorities to closely monitor COVID-19. We will notify the public when we resume full operations and provide updates on our website and social media channels.  

Updates about NPS operations will be posted on the NPS' Public Health Updates page. Please check with individual parks for specific details about park operations.
