Stagg Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

In 1903, Mary Lucilla Barbour purchased Stagg Hall from the William W. Padgett estate. [3] After her death, her son, William Edgar Barbour, acquired the property from his father and siblings in 1934. [4] In 1950, the heirs of William Edgar Barbour conveyed their interest in Stagg Hall to Robert Taylor Barbour and his wife, Phyllis, thus making them the owners of the property.[5] Stagg Hall was acquired by the Charles County Government in 2013 for the price of $525,000.[6]
