On September 22, the Hammond-Harwood House Association is hosting our annual Garden Party at Daffin House in Hillsboro, Maryland. Daffin House has long been one of the great houses of Caroline County. It is thought that the earliest part of the house, the one and a half story northern section, was built in the 1760’s as a typical hall and parlor home. This building type was common in pre-revolutionary Eastern Shore Maryland. The large two-and-a-half-story main section was built in 1783 by Charles Daffin. Guests at the party will have the opportunity to tour the House, as well as enjoying cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and music. For more information, see our website.
