The eighteenth-century kitchen provides us with an illustrative example of interdisciplinary team work. Historian Marsh Johns uncovered the 1798 tax records which mentioned the kitchen. The archaeologists found the foundations and, while excavating, also unearthed several artifacts, including a seal. Along with his team, architect Devin Kimmel is measuring the kitchen and producing detailed drawings. The paper trail, the archaeological findings and the drawings are being used by the other historian of the team, Graham, to date different sections of the kitchen. Lynbrook of Annapolis, in the mean time, is working closely with all of them so that the team can continue to write the story of kitchen and of the house.  

Interested in a 3D tour of a historic Maryland house? The Clovefields Preservation Foundation published a 3D map of the Cloverfields house. The 3D tour allows you to "walk through" and explore the house from the comfort of your computer screen. Each circle on the floor is a clickable point where you can move and see 360 degrees around you. For the most immersive experience, we recommend a full screen view.  

Greetings. We are pleased to announce that February of 2018 has been an extremely productive month for the Cloverfields Preservation Foundation. Our most important news is that we were able to draw a timeline of construction that challenges the traditional dating of the Cloverfields house and its additions. 

Welcome to the first installment of the Cloverfields Preservation Foundation Newsletter! It is our goal to use this as a monthly bulletin to inform anyone interested about our process going forward to research, analyze, document, preserve and restore the Cloverfields house and grounds to their most significant historical period. We hope we can convey our eagerness and excitement about the project by showing you photographs, videos and historical documents related to the restoration.
