Mt Pleasant is a historic home and farm located in Woodstock, Howard County, Maryland. The land grant of the property was surveyed by Patuxent Ranger Thomas Browne as "Ranter's Ridge" in 1692. The farm house is built around an original log cabin. During the Civil War it was the hiding place of 1st Maryland Infantry, CSA General Bradley Tyler Johnson, and munitions storage for the nearby Doughoregan Manor. [1]

In 1993, the farm became the home of the Howard County Conservancy, a private land trust.[2]
