Our Present…
Ceresville Mansion has been helping brides and grooms plan their special day since 1989.
Currently, Ceresville Mansion hosts nearly 200 weddings annually. Our staff is dedicated
to unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail. The mansion has been voted
“Frederick’s Best Event and Reception Site” for the past nine years by the readers of Frederick
Magazine. In 2007 the readers of The Knot, a national wedding magazine, voted Ceresville
Mansion as a “2007 Pick -The Knot Best of Weddings” and rated us the number one venue
for the Mid-Atlantic region.
Our Past…
The Ceresville Mansion, built in 1888, was once a part of a large land
grant known as Dulaney’s Lot which was surveyed and divided into
several parcels in 1724. The Ceresville tract was acquired by General
Otho Williams some time in the 1780s as repartition for his service
to the Revolutionary War effort. General Williams constructed the
Ceresville gristmill, the original mansion house (located below the
grove of trees behind the colonnade) and a sawmill.
Cornelius Shriner purchased the original mansion house and the
gristmill from General Williams in 1816. Cornelius Shriner, along
with the assistance of his son, Edward A. Shriner, developed the mill
business into the most productive gristmill in the state of Maryland.
In its prime, the mill produced sixty barrels of flour a day, all driven
by the waters of Israel Creek. The mill wheels ground over 100,000
bushels of wheat and 25,000 bushels of other grains annually. The
elder Mr. Shriner was an original director of Frederick County
National Bank and also established both the Frederick and Woodsboro
Pike Company and the Liberty and Frederick Pike Company. When
Cornelius Shriner died in 1854, his son Edward continued to oversee
the prosperous milling operation. Edward A. Shriner built the current
Ceresville Mansion in 1888 as a wedding anniversary gift to his wife.
The present four-story mansion house with improvements contains
9,000 square feet of finished living space. The twin parlors, elegant
fireplaces, and traditional architectural elements are all in their original
condition. Ceresville Mansion remained in the Shriner family until the
early 1930s, and the mansion has always been a private residence until
the current owners transformed the existing house into its current
use as a setting for weddings, banquets, business events, picnics, and
private parties.
Several of the mansion’s former owners were known to have
entertained often, and the current owners have met hundreds of
people who were guests at parties and other events at the mansion
dating back to the late 1920s. Retaining the original elegance and
beauty of the mansion is the foremost concern of the current owners.
We hope that the mansion will become a Frederick County institution
and that thousands of future guests will have fond memories of their
experiences at the Ceresville Mansion.
