Riversdale, a National Historic Landmark, is a restored, five-part, stucco-covered brick plantation home built between 1801 and 1807. Construction of this elegant manor house was begun by Henri Stier, a Flemish aristocrat, and was completed by his daughter Rosalie and her husband George Calvert, grandson of the fifth Lord Baltimore. The Federal style mansion has particularly fine interior decorative detail. Numerous nationally significant figures later lived here, including several senators. The site is also home to a museum shop.
Riversdale offers a wide variety of education programs including school tours & workshops, Girl Scout badge & patch programs, children's tours, etc.
Educational programs are updated as needed and can be found directly at http://www.pgparks.com/places/eleganthistoric/riversdale_events.html#program
