Welcome to The Rising Sun Inn website!
​Please step inside and have a look around to learn more about visitors, just like you, who have been stopping by since 1753.

​The Rising Sun Inn has been a farmhouse, an Inn and Tavern, a Stagecoach stop, and an important meeting place on the crossroads of American History. Located in central Anne Arundel County, Maryland, on the famed Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route, National Historic Trail, the Rising Sun Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

Whether you are retracing the steps of American patriots, a family ancestry fan, a teacher with a history lesson in the making, a lover of ghost stories, or a student of 18th and 19th century Americana, we are worth a visit.

Step inside and take a sneak peek of the Rising Sun Inn.    Stories await you through every door and around every corner ~ James and Henry Baldwin and their service in the American Revolution; tavern keeping in Maryland, and why you can sometimes smell roses around in the Inn.

The Rising Sun Inn is a very special place that needs to be visited to truly appreciate everything she has to offer.

Capital Repair Campaign

The Rising Sun Inn was first restored more than 100 years ago by a dedicated group of local women committed to patriotism, education, and historic preservation. Today, the Rising Sun Inn needs your help!  The Inn is in need of some high dollar repairs, and your support is desperately needed and deeply appreciated.  

This is no small task. The Inn's cedar-shake shingled roof and 1980's HVAC system both need to be replaced.  The roof is leaking, and patch repairs are no longer working.  The HVAC system continues to run, but only on prayers and well-wishes, and we have been warned it could fail at any time.  The unexpected failure and replacement of our 100-year-old septic system in 2024 left our reserves for capital repairs gutted, and funds meant for the roof and HVAC had to be diverted.  We need your help today!
