Linthicum Walks is a historic home and farm complex at Crofton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA. It consists of a 19th-century frame dwelling (part of which may be 18th century), a mid-19th century meathouse, a frame pre-1815 tobacco barn and a family cemetery dating to the mid 19th century.
The complex is representative of the vernacular architecture of rural Tidewater Maryland of the late 18th through mid 19th centuries. [2] The tobacco house is especially noteworthy, as one of only three pre-1815 tobacco houses surviving in the county. [2] [3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1]
The arboretum at Historic Linthicum Walks was accredited as an ArbNet Level 1 Arboretum in August 2016. [4] [5] Highlights are the Cedrus atlantica (Blue Atlas cedar) and Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar), [4] plus specimens including Chinese elm, dogwood, holly, magnolia and maple. [5]
