Meet Jumbles & Rosie – the newest (and cutest) members of Historic St. Mary’s City!
These Red Devon calves are more than just irresistibly adorable—they’re living history.

Back in the 1600s, cattle like the Red Devon weren’t called “heritage breeds”—they were the dependable workhorses of daily life. Strong and versatile, these animals pulled plows, hauled carts, and provided milk and meat to the early colonists.

Today, Red Devons are recognized for their historical significance and resilience. When you meet Jumbles and Rosie at Historic St. Mary’s City, you’re connecting with the same kind of livestock that helped build Maryland’s first capital.

But even heritage cows need hay, vet care, and cozy stalls. That’s where you come in. Your support helps us care for these living links to the past and ensures their story continues at our Plantation exhibit.

Support the care and keeping of our living history—because heritage deserves heart.
