Back into history |
2835 Belair Drive Bowie, MD 20715 +1 301 809 3089 http://www.cityofbowie.org/mus... museums@cityofbowie.org |
This museum is seeped in history and it is ready to tell tales whenever you want to listen. It was built by Samuel Ogle in the early 18th century. Later, it underwent expansion and was inherited by the Woodward family. The Woodwards further converted it into a major racing and breeding ground. Presently, it enjoys its status as a museum and boasts of an interesting collection of racing memorabilia, carriages and so on. For further details, check the website. Review © 2007, Wcities |
Farm presentations |
535 Hampton Lane Towson, MD 21286 +1 410 823 1309 x226 http://www.nps.gov/hamp/ |
Towards the north of the Hampton lane, you'll find a beautiful mansion located on the Hampton National Historic site. Visit the mansion to marvel at ancient paintings and antique furniture. The mansion has been installed with fire containment equipment for which it is closed for an unspecified period of time. However, the farmhouse is open daily from 9:30a to 4p and that's exactly where you've got to head for any of the presentations held here. This is also where the Second Sunday program series takes place. On your way out, you can also make a trip to the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine located just twelve miles away.
