Mount Harmon is owned and administered by Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc., a non profit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of Mount Harmon, for the public’s education and enjoyment. Guided tours and programs provide visitors with a first hand experience of a colonial-era tobacco plantation, as well as shed light on the role of the du Pont family in Mount Harmon’s preservation.
Wicomico Hunt Club was established in 1929 and is the only recognized hunt on the Delmarva Peninsula. The club enjoys fox chasing all over the magnificent properties on Eastern Shore of Maryland, and into Delaware with their pack of Penn-Marydel and crossbred hounds.
