Marietta House Museum

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Marietta is a Federal style mansion located at 5626 Bell Station Road, Glenn Dale, Maryland, in Prince George's County. Built ca. 1813 as the centerpeice of a 325-acre plantation, Marietta was once the home of Gabriel Duvall, an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1811-1834. The site is currently the headquarters of the Prince George's County Historical Society.

The house is operated as a historic house museum, and is furnished to reflect three generations of Duvalls from 1815 to 1902.
