St. John's College
One of the oldest U.S. colleges, St. John's started in 1696 as a prep school but was chartered as a college in 1784. Two buildings are named for Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence: the Chase-Stone House and the Paca-Carroll House, both built in 1857.
Don't miss the Carroll Barrister House, built in the 1720s for Charles Carroll, a member of the prominent Maryland family. Also noteworthy: Mellon Hall, which is home to the Mitchell Art Museum and—for a completely different style of architecture—was designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Student-led campus tours are offered by the admissions office (located in the Charles Carroll Barrister House). Self-guided tours of the grounds are available using your mobile device.
