Cherry Grove, also known as "Fredericksburg" is a historic home and farm located at Woodbine, Howard County, Maryland, United States. The slave plantation is considered the seat of the Warfield family of Maryland. The multi-part house was built by captain Benjamin Warfield starting after 1766 after acquiring a 550-acre land grant from Henry Griffith named "Fredricksburg". The complex includes a ca. 1798 log ground barn, an 1860-1890 frame wagon shed with corn crib, an early-20th century frame water tower, frame ground barn with cantilevered forebay, frame shed, frame dairy barn, concrete silo, concrete block dairy, and several frame shelter sheds. The buildings are located on a generally flat site surrounded by gently rolling terrain and are set well back from the road along a gravel drive that winds through the center of the farm. The J.P Tarenz log house was a log slave quarters built around 1768 that was relocated offsite after the civil war to accommodate freed slaves. The remains of Maryland's 45th Governor Edwin Warfield (1848–1920), are buried onsite in the family cemetery. The property was owned by Arthur G. Nichols Jr. and wife in 1976 and was subdivided down to 338 acres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://data.howardcountymd.gov/scannedpdf/Historic_Sites/HO-001.pdf )〕 Cherry Grove was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.〔 ==See Also== *List of Howard County properties in the Maryland Historical Trust *Sunnyside (Woodbine, Maryland) *Oakdale Manor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherry Grove, HO-1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
