TODD'S INHERITANCE: BALTIMORE'S REAL HAUNTED HOUSE
 |
The Todd's were prosperous landowners from Virginia and
among the
first in the region to purchase land in Baltimore County. From 1664 to
1970, the Todd family lived in this home located between Edgmere and
Fort Howard at 9000 North Point Road.
Todd's Inheritance, with its strategic view of the
Chesapeake Bay, played a key roll in the Battle of Northpoint during the War
of 1812. Sentries kept watch from the home for invading British
forces. Among the militia were two Todd family members.
Following the battle, the retiring British burned the original Todd
home. |
