Marietta House Museum
Marietta was the plantation home of Gabriel Duvall, an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1811-1835. The
house, built between 1813-1815, is a modest Federal-style brick
dwelling that was originally part of a 650 acre tobacco estate.
Judge Duvall, a native of Prince George’s County (1752-1844),
devoted over sixty years of his life to public service in such
notable positions as Delegate of the Maryland General Assembly,
U.S. Congressman, Judge of the Maryland General Court and
Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury.
Marietta remained in the Duvall family until 1902 and is
interpreted to reflect the three generations of Duvall occupancy.
The museum is open year-around and offers tours, special events,
programs and exhibits.
There are also two Prince George's County Champion Trees on the
property, a Pecan and a Dawn Redwood. Coordinates for the trees are
below and the Duvall gravesite are below.
The cache is in a small, clear, plastic container.
Park closed after dark.
