Hampton National Historic Site in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, preserves a significant piece of American history. The site features the Hampton Mansion, which was once the largest private home in the United States when it was completed in 1790. This grand estate was the center of a large agricultural enterprise that relied on enslaved labor. Today, the site includes the mansion, outbuildings, gardens, and slave quarters, offering a comprehensive view into the lives of both the Ridgely family, who owned the estate, and the many workers, including enslaved individuals, who lived and worked there.
