Oxon Cove Park is a 512 acre large national historic district with portions in Prince George's County, Maryland and Washington, D.C. operated by the National Park Service as part of National Capital Parks-East. It includes a living farm museum, the 289-acre Oxon Cove Farm, located at Oxon Hill in the Maryland portion of the park. The other 222 acres of the site are former landfill.
The park is a resource for environmental studies, wildlife observing, fishing, and other recreational activities made possible by easy access to the Potomac River. Fourteen buildings and two structures are located in the historic district and associated with the property's sequential development as a plantation, an institutional agricultural complex, and a farm museum.
It is bounded by Interstate 295 on the south, Indian Head Highway on the east and the District of Columbia on the north.
The 289 acre farm portion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
