Rockland is a three-story stone Federal-style house built in 1803 by Colonel Frisby Tilghman (1773-1847), son of Maryland’s first Attorney General. Originally over 1,100 acres, Rockland was the largest slave holding estate in Washington County. In 1827, slave James W.C. Pennington escaped from Rockland and later wrote his autobiography, The Fugitive Blacksmith. Rockland is on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Sites and is designated an official site of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
