The virtual photo tour will provide the public a glimpse into the existing and historical conditions of the site
Annapolis, MD – Today, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman announced the launch of the Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park Virtual Photo Tour.
This online resource will offer residents a comprehensive view and historical context of the park's current structures to bridge the gap between current restricted access and a time in the future when open access will be granted to the planned Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park.
“This virtual photo tour will allow people to witness Crownsville as it exists today while gaining greater knowledge of its complex history,” said County Executive Steuart Pittman. “Whether you’ve been engaged in our work to transform this site, or you’re just learning about the property, this resource will help you connect with this historic space, learn about its legacy, and see the promise of its future.”
"I support the County Executive's vision for Crownsville and am thrilled that Anne Arundel County residents will experience it in a new, meaningful way," said Jackie Allsup, Chair of the Cultural History Subcommittee. "For years, our community and our advisory members have been deeply invested in efforts to preserve and honor the stories of Crownsville. I look forward to the next steps in bringing this project to life."
Following Anne Arundel County’s acquisition of the former Crownsville Hospital Complex from the State of Maryland in December 2022, the county initiated an extensive planning process.
In February 2025, the County Executive unveiled the Final Master Plan after more than a year of gathering information and community engagement. This serves as a blueprint for future development, providing detailed recommendations for land use, building programming, open space, traffic management, and public art installations.
These multi-year efforts to reimagine Crownsville, led by County Executive Pittman, will lay the groundwork for a lasting legacy that will inform and inspire future generations.
