Gambrill Mansion lands park service control near battlefield
The National Park Service purchased Gambrill Mansion and its surrounding one acre farm in 1981 for 860000 as part of a plan to relocate a training center. Restoration may begin in October if funds are approved, with work by Preservation Training Center craftsmen and local contractors. The Best Farm purchase faces funding gaps, leading to a mix of title and easements and negotiations with the Trail heirs and Maryland agencies to secure protection funds and project scope.
