“ Preliminary Report on the Smith’s St.
Leonard Site” - Jessica L. Grow. The Smith’s St. Leonard
Site is located at the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum. The
site was originally the home of Richard Smith, Jr. who built
his house on a bluff overlooking the Patuxent River and St. Leonard’s
creek in 1711. By 1754, the house and all of its outbuildings
had become abandoned and started to crumble. Eventually, the
site was turned into cultivated farm land. Since 2002, Jefferson
Patterson Park and Museum has hosts a public archaeology program
and used the Smith’s St. Leonard Site as a program site. Volunteers
have helped to excavate the site and process the artifacts. Excavations
have been done in the main house, kitchen, and slave quarters
areas, as well as a trash pit and a building of unknown use.
This preliminary report is a culmination of the known history
of the site and what work has been done there so far. |
