Overview

**Schedule and exhibit availability subject to change**

All activities are included with admission: $10 adult; $9 senior; $6 youth; free to ages 5 and younger, and to museum members

11:30 a.m. Learn about the construction methods and materials—including brains—utilized by the Woodland Indians in the creation of clothing from creatures. (approximately 20 minutes)

12:30 p.m. Meet at the Print House to see a movable type printing press in action, and learn about three Maryland women who used this type of machine to change the course of history. (approximately 20 minutes)

1:30 p.m. Learn how and why the crew of Maryland Dove uses the ship’s cannons, and why they are called murtherers (the cannons, not the crew). It ends with a bang, so don’t forget to cover your ears. (approximately 20 minutes)

2:30 p.m. How would you handle the challenge of preparing food without a refrigerator, stove, or microwave? And what if corn was your only available grain? Come see corn prepared three ways over an open hearth. Meet at the Plantation parking lot. (approximately 20 minutes)

While strolling the exhibit paths, don’t forget to explore the 18th-century Mackall Barn; Van Sweringen’s Inn; the reconstructed State House of 1676; and the reconstructed Brick Chapel of 1667, which features the crypt that houses the re-interred lead coffins of Philip Calvert and his family. Before you end your visit, drive down Rosecroft Road to the current site of the 19th-century Brome Howard house (now the Inn at Brome Howard), to see the Struggle for Freedom exhibit. The exhibit is located inside a building that was originally constructed to house the men and women who were enslaved laborers at the Brome plantation. Struggle for Freedom explores what the lives of African Americans were like from before the Civil War to the early 20th century.

The photograph was taken outside. A child, around two or three years old, is holding a small wooden mallet in one hand and a flower in the other. She is sitting at a wooden picnic table, in front of her are two small paper plates and a handful of leaves and wildflowers in front of her. She is wearing yellow sunglasses and is focused on her work. She is making a craft as part of the Little Explorers toddler program.
