Marshall Hall was an amusement park in Charles County, Maryland, next to the Potomac River, more or less across from Mount Vernon, Virginia, the home of George Washington. The site of a small amusement park dating from the 1890s, a modern amusement park was constructed there in 1966 and operated until 1980. It was a favorite of Washington, DC residents who often arrived by excursion boat.
The National Park Service tore down all vestiges of the amusement park in the 1970s. All that is left standing is Marshall Hall, the shell of the colonial home of the original Marshall family.
