    Historic Sotterley is a significant plantation site located in Broomes Island, Maryland. The property features a 1703 Tidewater plantation house, which is one of the oldest in the state. Visitors can explore the well-preserved grounds, including various outbuildings and a restored slave cabin. The museum offers guided tours that provide insights into the plantation's complex history, covering topics such as colonial life, slavery, and the evolution of agriculture in the region. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the site's stories. While some visitors appreciate the authentic representation of history, others may find the experience somewhat somber due to the plantation's connection to slavery. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering scenic views of the Patuxent River. However, some visitors mention that more interactive exhibits or self-guided tour options would enhance the experience. Overall, Historic Sotterley provides a valuable educational opportunity for those interested in American history, though it may not appeal to all audiences equally.
