Special Events


Gilman Hall, the first major building constructed on the Homewood campus, was clearly influenced by the elegant country house that was the centerpiece of the Carroll family farm that became the university's home in the early 1900s. This week, you can take a guided walking tour to see how the ca. 1801 Homewood House's Federal style and architectural details have been translated campuswide. See Special Events.
