Williamsport's Banking Mansion

06/14/2026

Many hundreds filtered through today to take in Williamsport history and celebrate history for the Hagerstown Women’s Club. Councilman Tinsley, portrayed first Conococheague Bank President, Congressman Samuel Ringgold. Mary-Ann of the Women’s Club also dressed in period clothes of the 1814 time period. It was a great day to live in .

Over the years, we have opened our homes for tours in support of causes and organizations close to our hearts. Among them are the Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage, the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area, Leadership Washington County, the Washington County Historical Trust, the Sons of the American Revolution, Washington County Historical Society, and others dedicated to preservation, education, and community enrichment.

This weekend, we are honored to once again open our home to the public as part of the Hagerstown Women’s Club Triennial House and Garden Tour. It marks the second time we have participated in this wonderful tradition, the first being at Cool Hollow on the Antietam in 2019. We are especially proud to support this effort, as proceeds help provide housing and assistance for women in need.

Below are a few photographs from tours over the years. Tickets for this weekend’s event — featuring nine private homes and gardens rarely open to the public — are still available through the organization’s website, (see below). It promises to be a truly spectacular tour.

Had the parlor wallpapered with some historic paper I found in Cumberland on Facebook. Quite a deal. $20 for 48 rolls. Just in time for the Hagerstown Women’s Club triennial House and Garden Tour. Very pleased.

🌟edit, it’s found a new home🌟

Piece of Williamsport history for free. Corner of Frederick and Conococheague. Great look for an old house, museum, or display in shop. (Not ours, just hoping it finds a good home).

Williamsport's own Potomac Garden Club (including Cindy Trogisch, mother) created this gorgeous artistic arrangement for the Washington County Museum of Fine Art event, “Art in Bloom.” Well done, Williamsport ladies!!
