Through the 1960s the chapel's membership dwindled and the building fell into disrepair. When the chapel was scheduled for demolition in 1980, the Friends of Dorsey Chapel organized to preserve the church. Today, this small frame meetinghouse-style church is considered an architectural jewel. Designated a Prince George's County "historic site" by the Historic Preservation Commission and restored by M-NCPPC, Dorsey Chapel was re-dedicated and opened to the public as a museum on September 11, 1996.

The Society of Mareen Duvall Descendants has relocated the family graveyard from its original location to the serene surroundings at Marietta. Justice Duvall's law office and root cellar also are open to the public. Marietta is a 2 1⁄2-story brick Federal house, begun c. 1813, in a traditional I-house plan and is an important example of a late Federal style brick house. The main block is five bays by two, and entrance is through the central bay of the south facade. Attached to the north of the main block at right angles is a two-story rear wing, built c. 1832, and attached to the west gable end is an L-shaped wing added in 1968.
