Who We Are.



The St. Mary’s County Historical Society collects, preserves, researches, and interprets the history of St. Mary’s County, Maryland. Our collections are held in trust for the use and education of the public.  They are primarily composed of documentary and archival materials with a focus on St. Mary's County’s people, places, and events. 

This information is made available at the Historical Society's Research Center, through publications such as The Chronicles of St. Mary’s and the Tudor Hall Times as well as through programs and exhibits. The Historical Society also provides stewardship of 18th century Tudor Hall which serves as its headquarters.  

 
St Mary's County Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) organization.
