Terra Rubra is a 158-acre estate near Keysville in Carroll County, Maryland, and the birthplace in 1779 of Francis Scott Key, who later wrote The Star-Spangled Banner. The original house on the site dated to the 1770s, when Francis Key built it for his son John Ross Key, Francis Scott Key's father; after that structure deteriorated, the present Federal-style house was built on the property in the 1850s. Terra Rubra was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
