Legally haunted. A creepy old place.

The erection of the Courthouse of Caroline County was started in 1801 and finished in 1807 by the executors of George Hoomes' estate. So far as is known there was only one other courthouse building prior to the one now in use, and it stood about two miles northeast of Bowling Green. The present building stands in practically the geographical center of the County of land which was once a part of the Bowling Green estate of the Hoomes family. The manor house still standing on the southern outskirts of the town is now called the Old Mansion, and on its property were the race course, the Bowling Green, and the New Hope Tavern. There is much deep history intertwined with this place.

One time they all saw one Indian who was shouting angrily and gesturing wildly but they heard no sound. They went through several maids who would not stay due to strange happenings. They moved after several years."

The ghost of the first lady killed by the Federal government

This is the tavern where John Wilkes Booth plotted the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Mary Surratt was the only female conspirator convicted in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and there has surfaced some dispute about her involvement in the plot. Mary's ghost is said to haunt several places in Maryland and Washington today.
