The Maryland Resident Curatorship Program
Ever dreamed of living in an historic house surrounded by beautiful State Park, Forest, or other protected land? Are you interested in becoming a steward of both historic and natural resources? Then the DNR wants you!
Pioneered in 1982, the Maryland Resident Curatorship Program offers lucky Curators the right to lifetime tenancy in an historic property in exchange for restoring it, maintaining it in good condition, and periodically sharing it with the public. From the mountain regions of Western Maryland to Assateague Island, the program has nearly 60 Curatorships in operation, each offering a special glimpse into the history of Maryland.
