Rt. 5 South from Waldorf, just south of Rt. 488, you pass over a small bridge (that's Zachiah Swamp). About a mile, you're in Bryantown; turn right and there's an old home on the right marked "Boarman's Manor." All this within a mile of each other.

This Boarman's Manor is only part of the original Manor land, and not an original home, as I understand it. St. Mary's Church in Bryantown in also part of Boarman's Manor, and the church is more than a mile from that house (which for many years was owned by Benny Edelen and his family, and then a Mr. Smith; Mr. Smith just sold it, I believe, within the past 2-4 years). Seeing the "Boarman's Manor" sign is deceiving. If you google Bryantown +Maryland - as others have mentioned - you get several links. One of these transfers you to historic homes in Bryantown and that link has interesting information on several of the old homes there. If anyone needs the exact steps in that google search, post a query here and I'll retrace my steps and reply.
