A Home and its History

Hampton Horse Farm stands on a hill which is the second highest point in Calvert County, Maryland. The house overlooks about 14 acres of pastures and stables.

Federal Style house at Hampton Horse Farm

People coming to Hampton Horse farm today enjoy lessons, practice riding, dressage, polocrosse, and improving their horsemanship.

The house is a stately example of Federal style architecture. Designated an historic trust property in November 1983, it stands as a beloved Calvert County landmark.

The first building on the property was a log cabin built in 1664. In 1745 the property was purchased by Daniel Carcaud. Their son David is believed to have built an original 3-bay house there in 1825. (For a more complete account of events, see Hampton Horse Farm: A History.)

Since taking ownership in 2004, David and Barbara Lynn have restored the house and revived Hampton to life as a working horse farm. You'll find horse boarding, a fenced riding arena, and enthusiasm for equestrian sports and pleasure riding.
