Our Story
Established in 1765, Cold Saturday Farm has earned a place on the National Registry of Historic Places. Over two and a half centuries later, it is now open to host your happily ever after.
A Place of Beauty & Signficance
Before the Revolutionary War, before the Constitution, before America, there was Cold Saturday Farm. Established in 1765 by virtue of a grant from the King of England, Cold Saturday is a one-of-a-kind estate: a lovingly preserved and restored colonial farm encompassing 60 acres in western Maryland. It features rolling hills and pristine lawns, lakes and creeks, fieldstone mansions and log cabins.
Over the centuries it has had many different functions – governor’s mansion, gentry farm, Civil War hospital, Hollywood film set – and welcomed many different people – cattle farmers, soldiers, sheriffs, presidential candidates and celebrities. And now, we invite you and your friends and family to join that list.

It is a place that must be seen.
Words do little justice to Cold Saturday Farm. Named to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2008, it has experienced an endless stream of visitors over the years, curious onlookers and passersby walking up the carriage lane to sneak a peek at the historic estate. Like a rustic mirage, Cold Saturday is a private oasis only 30 minutes from downtown Baltimore and 45 minutes from Washington D.C. Once stepping onto the property, you are immediately transported to a different era, where windows reshape the view with their original handmade glass, century-old sweet gum trees soar like high-rises, and wind rustling the pines – not highway traffic and city commotion – serves as the soundtrack. Over the course of the year, Cold Saturday comes alive in every color: pink in the magnolia blooms, purple in the bougainvillea, orange and yellow in the live oaks in autumn, emerald green in the horse fields and hillsides.
