Historic National Road - Maryland
Tomlinson's Inn at Little Meadows, MD

Built in 1816 at Little Meadows by a veteran of the Revolutionary War, Jesse Tomlinson’s inn catered to travelers along the new National Road, and hosted Presidents-elect James K. Polk and William Henry Harrison. Now a private residence, the striking stone house is located at Little Meadows. As a state marker indicates, the scenic meadows were the site of General Braddock’s 4th camp on his march to Fort Duquesne in western Pennsylvania, July 15, 1755.
