In May, Woodlawn Manor in Sandy Spring reopened its doors to the public. For several years, the venue had been rented out for weddings and other events.
Like many landmarks of its era, Woodlawn Manor has a complicated history. The owners of the manor, which sits in the heart of one of Maryland’s Quaker communities, used enslaved people to maintain the house and grounds.
MCM paid a visit to Woodlawn to get the full story behind the mansion’s elegant facade.
