Linthicum had had house tours in the past, but none that drew as many people and as much interest as the Centennial House Tour that was held April 27. The Centennial Committee sold a whopping 283 tickets to the tour. Not everyone who bought a ticket made it to every home on the tour, but some proved very popular. The Old Linthicum Estate on Valley Road, which was the first time on the tour, counted 241 visitors alone. The Benson-Hammond House recorded an impressive 126 visitors, as well.

"He is delighted that 'this young couple bought the house and are restoring it historically.' He also said that not many of the Stoll farmhouses are still around."
