Grand Opening of Hampton Visitor Contact Station

Grand Opening of Hampton Visitor Contact Station

On April 24 during National Park Week, Hampton National Historic Site celebrated the grand opening of its new $2 million Visitor Contact Station with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The new 2,400-SF facility, which includes signage, maps, site history, a gift shop and restrooms, will provide orientation to visitors about the park and surrounding historic sites in Baltimore County. The ribbon-cutting ceremony also celebrated the completion and opening of a new 4,400-SF Collection Storage Building, entrance road, and parking lot. The ceremony was followed by an open house and tours of the new Collection Storage Building. The four projects totaled over $6.5 million in federal, state, local and non-profit funding.
