Built around 1925 by Henry Kinder, this American four square brick home was where he and his wife Hilda (Yanke) raised their eight children. For more than 50 years, the house served as the heartbeat of the farm, and in 1979 Henry Kinder's sons Edward, Henry Jr., Albert, and Augustus sold the 288-acre parcel, including the farmhouse, to the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks, after which the land kept the family name as Kinder Park Farm. Only the first floor, originally made up of four rooms—a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a bedroom and children's playroom—has been restored, with the only addition being a small pantry between the dining room and kitchen. Most of the furnishings were donated and represent items that might have been found in a home during the Depression and World War Two years, while some original items and a few replicas of Kinder family items, including many family photographs, are displayed in the house. The farmhouse served as park offices until 2010, when those offices moved into the Visitors Center. In 2011, the Friends of Kinder Farm Park and the Anne Arundel County Department Recreation and Parks began a multi-year project to restore the farmhouse's first floor, and after two and a half years and thousands of volunteer hours, the farmhouse opened to the public in May 2014.
