Upper Marlboro - Darnall's Chance

Darnall's Chance, built circa 1704, is the oldest house in Upper Marlboro. It was the home of notable Marylanders Colonel Henry Darnall and his great-grandsons, Archbishop John Carroll and Daniel Carroll II. The exhibits have a special emphasis on the lives of mid-18th century women expecially the widow Lettice Wardrop Thomson Sim, who lived at Darnall's Chance prior to the American Revolution. An 18th century burial vault is located on the grounds, which contained the remains of nine individuals.
