The Liriodendron

Harford County, Maryland's premiere cultural and events center. The historic Liriodendron, built in 1898, was the summer home of Dr. Howard Atwood Kelly, his wife, Laetitia, and their nine children. Dr. Kelly was one the founding physicians of Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Medicine, a philanthropist, inventor, author, naturalist, and devout Christian. Sold in 1980 to Harford County, The Liriodendron is now home to a museum and art gallery, hosts concerts, community events, educational talks, and is a popular wedding and private event venue. The non-profit Liriodendron Foundation manages the preservation and operations of this historic home, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
