Robert Morris
Historic Inn
Oxford, Maryland

The Robert Morris Inn was built as a home prior to 1710 by ship's carpenters. In 1740 an English trading company bought the house as a residence for Robert Morris, who represented the firm's shipping interests in Oxford. His son, Robert Morris, Jr., helped finance the Revolutionary War, numbered George Washington among his friends, and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution.

James A. Michener, author of "Chesapeake", rated the Robert Morris Inn's crab cakes the highest of any restaurant on the Eastern Shore.

The Inn crowns the north end of Morris Street. Additional accommodations are offered at the Inn's Sandaway Lodge located one-half block away, on two acres of waterfront property complete with private beach. Guests may choose to stay in one of the quaint Inn rooms or in the Sandaway, where many rooms have private porches overlooking the water. All guest rooms have private baths and are decorated with comfortable country furnishings

For the ultimate Chesapeake experience ask for Sandaway Suite. Your first floor bedroom with a canopy king bed, soaking tub for two, and side porch is located at Sandaway Lodge. Your separate sitting room is located on the beach with views of the river in 3 directions. Great sunsets!

The inn is also available for small elegant waterfront weddings, business meetings and other group functions.
