Antrim (Taneytown, Maryland)

Antrim 1844 Country House Hotel is a historic inn located in the heart of Taneytown, Carroll County, Maryland, United States.

Once settled, Andrew and Margaret commenced construction on Antrim in 1844, enlisting the services of Baltimore builder Benjamin Forrester, and sculptor William Henry Rinehart.

[4][5] The inn is named after Margaret's family's ancestral home in County Antrim, Ireland.

[6] On the lands, Ege operated a large slave plantation, raising 14 horses, 12 milk cows, and 18 other cattle, which produced 1,000 pounds of butter.

[4] However, after Ege went bankrupt, the estate was purchased by a local farmer, whose descendants expanded the land holdings and continued to operate it as a farm until the 1940s.
