Beverly (Princess Anne, Maryland)

Beverly is a historic Federal-style home located in Princess Anne, Maryland, built between 1785 and 1796 by Nehemiah King II. This 2+1⁄2-story brick dwelling, measuring 40 by 60 feet, was partially destroyed by fire in 1937 but has since been restored. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Notably, the house is linked to a fascinating plot involving Jérôme Bonaparte and an attempt to rescue Napoleon from exile, which included plans for a secret tunnel leading to the property. This intriguing history makes Beverly a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in early American history and the Napoleonic era.
