About Jonathan Hager House and Museum

This stone homestead in Hagerstown City Park was built around 1739 by Jonathan Hager, the town's founder. Its walls are fieldstone and it sits over a spring. Rooms are furnished with historic furniture and artifacts, and guided tours explain colonial life and the house's history. The museum is undergoing renovation tied to a planned visitor center, so parts of it may be under construction. Ghost tours and seasonal events are offered at certain times of year.
