Meet the Big Brick House!

Mulberry Fields is a super old and big house made of bricks, built a super long time ago, around 1763! It's like a giant's home, with lots of rooms and a special roof. It sits on a hill with a fantastic view of the big Potomac River. Think of it as a very fancy, very old castle, but made of brick instead of stone!

A Walk Through Time

This house has been around for almost 300 years! That's way older than your grandparents, and even older than your great-grandparents! It was built when people wore fancy clothes and rode horses. It's the only house like it left from that time in the area, like a special dinosaur still walking around!

The Awesome River View!

One of the coolest things about Mulberry Fields is the amazing view. Imagine standing on a hill and seeing for miles! There's a long, straight path, like a super-duper long driveway, that goes all the way down to the riverbank. It's like a secret path to a hidden treasure!

Why It's a Star!

Mulberry Fields is so special that it's on a list called the National Register of Historic Places. This means it's a super important place that people want to protect so everyone can learn about it. It's like getting a gold star for being an amazing historical treasure!
