English: BENJAMIN RUMSEY MANSION IS THE ONLY BUILDING SURVIVING FROM OLD JOPPA TOWN. ERECTED IN 1720-1724.
JOPPA TOWN WAS THE FIRST TOWN BUILT NORTH OF BALTIMORE AND A THRIVING PORT UNTIL THE GUNPOWDER RIVER SILTED UP
THIS SITE IS ADDRESS RESTRICTED BECAUSE NATIVE AMERICAN RELICS HAVE BEEN EXCAVATED FROM THE SITE OF THE OLD TOWN. HOWEVER IT IS EASY TO FIND AND SEVERAL INTERPRETIVE SIGNS ARE PRESENT IN FROM OF THIS MANSION AND AT THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION WHICH HAS DISPLAYS OF THE ARTEFACTS WHICH I WAS ABLE TO SEE THANKS TO THE KINDNESS OF THE CHURCH SEXTON
