The Plumpton Park Zoo is located in Rising Sun, Maryland, United States, along Maryland Route 273, which is part of the Mason and Dixon Scenic Byway. The Jeremiah Brown House and Mill Site, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is also on the site.
The zoo was started by Edward Plumstead in 1985 on his family estate, initially with deer and a few domestic animals.
