HISTORY OF THE MARLBOROUGH HUNT CLUB
In 1936, Benjamin H.C. Bowie, along with a group of avid horsemen, was instrumental in organizing the establishment of the Marlborough Hunt Club in Prince George’s County, Maryland. In the first years of inception, MHC did not have a clubhouse, kennels or grounds. Meetings where originally held at the founding and charter member's homes. Eventually a search committee was established to find suitable land for the Hunt Club in the P.G. County region. In 1950, the Patuxent Gun & Rod Club happened to be selling off a portion if their land along the western shore of the Patuxent River near Hill’s Bridge, east of Upper Marlboro. After successful negotiations, MHC was able to purchase this property and establish what is today the renovated and expanded turn-of-the-century clubhouse, extensive kennels, beautiful outside show grounds and hunt course, stables, Huntsman's home and party pavilion.
