Let me begin by speaking of the facility. It is BEAUTIFUL! It was my first choice when choosing a place to be married and having the reception. It had a breathtaking view of the water and the gardens are amazing, only if you can get through the party planner! I emailed Londowntown to try and find a time where my parents, and husband-to-be could all meet the planner and see the facility. Well, that never happened. The facility has one person that runs the entire show, although I find that hard to believe. If you cant meet within her times, tough luck! She will NOT bend over backwards for anyone who wants to spend money at her facility. Not to mention, she is very rude. My husband met with her for a wedding he was catering and stated that when the Bride-to-be and her mother were snapped at for the way they wanted seating under the tent. A girlfriend of mine and her husband got married there and said it was like "pulling teeth" with that woman.I am disappointed that I will not be getting married there as I had hoped since it is wonderful, but no one should be treated with disrespect when your planning to spend $7,000!

How have I lived in Maryland so long and not known about historic London Town? My kids and I went for a homeschool program and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Historic structures like a brick mansion and tobacco shed. Reconstructed buildings on site as well like a rope walk! Beautifully situated by the South River. Gardens with a trail through it that is about a mile long. Playground... which I heard was great but we didnt even get a chance to see! Interactive Museum. Gift Shop. Clean bathrooms. Ample parking. Picnic tables. This is definitely something to stop in and see if you are in the Annapolis Baltimore DC area. Or even if you are on the Eastern Shore! Plan to spend all day! And they have special events and happenings all throughout the calendar year! What a gem!

Attended a wedding here. It was to be outside, but the rain didnt cooperate. The staff handled this perfectly. Its almost like they do this every day :^}. We were in the pavilion. There are 2 unisex bathrooms, and a private room for the bride. Buffet dinner was held in an adjacent tent. DJ and music. Bar. Great views. The larger facility includes the brick manor house by the guy who established the ferry service over the South River. In this historic area, there is the well, a barn, a tobacco drying barn, and some shops. There is also a building for the county archaeology lab.

A very beautiful place and the 1:00 pm tour was fantastic ! Our guide was super she gave so many facts and information. Took our questions and even included the childern in the conversation on their level of understanding. Perfect day for sure, We hope to come back this Fall to picnic and see more. We just ran out of time! ☺

History lovers and gardeners will delight in a visit to Historic London Town. Docents in period costumes make visitors feel as though they have gone back to the early 18th century. A stroll through the gardens is great for relaxation. Breathtaking views of the scenic South River abound.

Even though they were operating under limited opening conditions due to winter season they offered us to join their employee / volunteers group in a comprehensive tour as part of their training. Even though we did not participate it was very kind of them to offer. Very kind employees.

This is such a wonderful gem nestled in an unassuming neighborhood in Edgewater. The staff are so nice and knowledgeable, and they do a great job of conveying the authenticity of the colonial experience. Definitely recommend it for families and class trips!

Fantastic place. The musket and rope making demonstrations were very interesting, the reenactors are friendly and knowledge, and the garden walk is beautiful. I am very glad Anne Arundel county supports this unique experience.

I went here on a field trip when I was in highschool. While the presentations were boring (to me), the old buildings and gardens were beautiful and interesting to explore!

Matthew France

Could use the grounds more for kids, ie apark, even a petting farm, lovely grounds excellent trails. Just needs something more when theres no events going on
