Location, History & Surroundings

Nestled amidst lush landscapes, Lower Notley Hall Farm extends a warm invitation to step back in time. Situated approximately 15 miles west of Leonardtown, the heart of St. Mary's County, and a mere 50 miles south of Washington, D.C., our venue strikes a harmonious balance between serene nature and convenient accessibility.

Our rich history stretches back centuries, with the property having been passed down through generations of families, starting with Native American tribes and eventually reaching its current owners in the mid-nineteenth century. It holds a special place in local history as the boyhood home of Robert E.T. Pogue, a renowned author who dedicated his work to preserving the memories of Old St. Mary's County. Visitors can feel the weight of history as they explore our grounds, imagining the lives that have unfolded within these walls.
