Welcome to the
Charles Carroll House
of Annapolis, Maryland.

Home to three generations and a founding father.

Welcome to the Charles Carroll House and Garden in Annapolis! The seat of the Catholic Carrolls of Annapolis, the Charles Carroll House was the primary urban residence of its most famous owner, Charles Carroll of Carrollton.  Today, the property, on the grounds of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, is among the largest and most impressive historic sites in Annapolis.  It is owned by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists), a Roman Catholic congregation of of priests and brothers.

Celebrating three generations and an urban cultural landscape that spans over 300 years, the Carroll House is a restoration-in-progress.  This site bears great historical significance to the state of Maryland and America as the home of Charles Carroll the Settler, first Attorney General of Maryland, his son, Charles Carroll of Annapolis and his grandson, Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832).  Faced with both persecution and restrictions for his faith, Charles Carroll of Carrollton  secured his family’s vision of personal, political and religious freedom for all citizens when he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  The Carroll House is one of only fifteen surviving signer’s birthplaces in the United States.
