The Friends of the Rising Sun Inn was established in 1999 as an all-volunteer organization.
Our mission is to restore, preserve, maintain, and promote the Rising Sun Inn and property as an historical site and museum as well as to provide educational programs to engage the public to explore the people and cultures of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The Friends place particular emphasis on the Baldwin family, as the original owners of the Inn and their service in the American Revolution, as well as the Inn’s other owners and residents, and the Inn’s role in Anne Arundel County history.
