Carroll Mansion And Phoenix Shot Tower

Carroll Mansion And Phoenix Shot Tower

Two sites operated by Carroll Museums, located in historic Jonestown, which was founded in 1732 and consolidated with Baltimore in 1745. Carroll Mansion was the 19th century home of Charles Carroll, who was one of the richest men in the country, and the Shot Tower dates back to Baltimore's industrial heritage.
