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.
