Slaves’ Infirmary [on His Lordship’s Kindness]
The brick portion of this building, probably constructed in the early 1800s, is believed to have served as an infirmary for the enslaved population. Here, African-American women often served as midwives and healers, delivering babies or attending to ailments that may not have required a physician.
Marker can be reached from Woodyard Road (Maryland Route 223) 0.2 miles west of Rosaryville Road.
