A Dairy Farm Turned Racehorse Facility to an Idyllic Country Inn
In the late 1970s, the Cochran family took ownership of this former dairy farm. Over the years, it metamorphosed into a racehorse breeding facility and, finally, into the magnificent Morningside Inn we know today. The Inn first opened its doors in 1995.
A Legacy of Excellence
Three generations of the Cochran family have collectively dedicated their time to transforming Morningside Inn into a haven of elegance. Their unrelenting dedication has paid off, making the Inn one of Maryland’s top-notch wedding venues and a favorite destination for private events and corporate gatherings.
