The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion Advisory Council brings together museum professionals, historians, educators, architects, preservationists and Mt. Vernon institutions and residents to assist the Mansion’s Board of Trustees.
Its mission is to develop ideas for opening the Mansion’s facilities, history and architectural significance to increased public view and participation and to raise its visibility as an exceptional landmark of Baltimore’s heritage.
The Council will suggest interpretive programs that will help visitors visualize and understand the people, places and events that occurred in and near the Mansion that contributed to 19th century Baltimore’s Gilded Age of economic and cultural development.

Dr. Jacobs is the Jacobs of the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion. The caduceus in the balustrade outside the ballroom is a subtle reminder of him. The lower level bar was once his medical office.
