The Rising Sun Inn, Historic Site and Museum

​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.

Want a sneak peek?

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.
