Ballestone Mansion

The Ballestone-Stansbury House, often referred to as Ballestone Mansion, is a historic plantation home located in Essex, Maryland, nestled between Back and Middle Rivers. Built around 1800, this charming house has undergone two significant expansions, including a one-story addition and a second floor added in the late 19th century. Now part of Rocky Point Park and owned by Baltimore County, the mansion was recognized for its historical significance by being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, making it an intriguing destination for tourists and researchers interested in Maryland's rich history.
