FREDERICK, Md. — In the 1760’s a one-story stone building was constructed on what is now the Thomas Farm that has served several purposes through the years. Throughout its history, the building was utilized for storage, housed free and enslaved people, and was used as a pool house by its most recent residents. Today the Tenant House serves as place to reflect on the history of the area that is now Monocacy National Battlefield. Parking for the new exhibits is at tour stop 3.
New exhibits have recently been installed and are the park’s most wide ranging and diverse to date. They explore the land that is now the battlefield through the lens of the area as a literal crossroads of history: American Indians, French Immigrants, free and enslaved African Americans, farmers, and millers who lived and work on this land. Here we begin to tell their stories from pre-contact to the 20th Century. Please stop by to see the new exhibits and learn more about the history of this area. The building will be open seasonally.
