#### One of Frederick’s oldest and grandest estates, this authentic 1750s German-Georgian colonial abode now houses an architecture and history museum.

Schifferstadt is a remarkably well-preserved two-story homestead on Downtown Frederick’s western border. Keeping watch over the countryside as Frederick turned from a settlement to a city, Schifferstadt has become one of the oldest houses still standing in the county. Today, it is a cherished national historic landmark. Admire this superb example of German-Georgian colonial architecture and step inside to discover a museum that details the building’s origins during the French and Indian War era.

Josef Brunner, a local farmer and German immigrant, purchased the estate and named the property after his hometown in southwestern Germany. Check out the building’s steadfast structure and simple design, which incorporates a steeply pitched roof with flared eaves and a sturdy stone exterior. The building’s thick walls are made from sandstone quarried from nearby Walkersville. Wander around the building, taking in the craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Hand-hewn timber beams were fastened together using wooden pegs. Notice the large wishbone-shaped chimney.

Step inside the sturdy old building and check out the five-plate cast-iron fireplace. This and other unique features date the house to about 1758. Wander around the preserved interiors, which are faithful to the building’s original construction and decoration. Note the German influence in the building’s detailing. The museum’s displays present a glimpse of what the Monocacy Valley looked like to the early German settlers who moved here.

Today, the building sits on a 1.5-acre (0.6-hectare) plot on the northwestern end of Baker Park. While you are here, explore the site’s heritage garden. Join a public tour, lecture or demonstration. The museum is open starting at noon on Saturdays and Sundays from April through early December. Arrange special tours in advance. The heritage building regularly hosts special events, such as concerts and seminars that honor German traditions and American history. Admission and many of the museum’s events are free, but donations are welcome.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (948 reviews)

I did not do breakfast. An entrance to facilitate patrons with luggage would be helpful in lieu of having to lift heavy luggage up the steep front granite stone steps. A grab-bar mounted on the shower wall also would be helpful to assist the elderly as I am.
