What Makes Crofton Unique?

• Whites Hall - birth place for Johns Hopkins. Gerrard Hopkins was the first to come to America from England, settling in Crofton in 1660. The Hopkins family was in the Crofton area for 270 years and accumulated more than 1000 acres (4 kmē) of land. Whites Hall still exists near the corner of Reidel Road and Johns Hopkins Road. It is privately owned.
• Linthicum Walks - a home built over 200 years ago by Thomas Linthicum III, a member of an influential family in Anne Arundel County. The original grant for the land was to Evan Davis in 1672 and obtained in 1699 by Thomas Linthicum, a Welsh immigrant. It was part of a medium size tobacco farm. George Washington stayed here during his travels to and from Annapolis and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and his home at Mount Vernon, Virginia. Located next to Crofton Middle School and the planned location for Crofton High School, Linthicum Walks is owned by the Anne Arundel County Board of Education and is currently being restored.
