All About Annapolis

Sherwood Forest Club is a private community on the Severn River. They have their own website but if you don't live there, you can't access anything.  

A friend of mine was a resident of Sherwood Forest and loved it there!  She wrote a great missive on the neighborhood and her time there.  You can view it here.

Thanks to our good friends at Wikipedia, they have a brief history of how the area came to be : ​


 In the early 1900s, oriental rug salesman William Cochran joined a group that planned to build an amusement park on what was Startzman Farm, outside of Annapolis. After the plan fell though,and in 1915 there was a place named sherwood forest Cochran began clearing trees to build a bucolic summer resort for middle-class families. 341 homes were built in the planned community along with a golf course, club house, softball field, general store, post office, swimming pool, bowling alley, library, pier, marina, and tennis courts. Homes sites in the community are leased for 99 years, from the community association. Demand for the homes is high and most of these homes, when available, are leased by current residents or their relatives.[2] Approval to lease a home site requires sponsorship from current residents.
