Half-Way House, also known as The Wiseburg Inn, is a historic inn and toll house located on York Road at Parkton, Baltimore County, Maryland. It is a large, 2+1⁄2-story Flemish bond brick structure. The main part, built as an inn about 1810, was placed in front of an earlier log structure which has since been used as a kitchen. The property includes three of the original outbuildings, a stone dairy, a stone laundry, and a board-and-batten shed / ice house. It was built to serve travelers on the newly opened turnpike from Baltimore to York. [2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. A boundary increase took place in 1989. [1]
