Alta Valle
————————— a family legacy we invite you to share —————————
This farm existed when Maryland was a colony. The farmhouse was built in 2 parts. The front is a 2-story log construction building which was moved from another location on the farm to the present site. It was later covered with brick. The back of the house was constructed in the 1800s. The original kitchen was located in the basement of the log structure.
The barn was constructed in the early 1800s. It was assembled from beams of older barns that existed in the 1700s.
The property shows up on the earliest English maps showing roads and trails.
