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; to museum members; and to those who qualify for the Blue Star Museums program

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. How did the colonists survive without modern medical knowledge and medicines? Come to Smith’s Ordinary and its nearby garden, to discover what the Maryland colonists did, and how it affected the way they lived. (approximately 30 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 prepare your food and drink without a refrigerator, stove, or microwave? Compare and contrast bachelor cooking at the Tenant House with the experienced cooking of the Main House family and servants, as you learn how food was prepared more than 300 years ago. (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.
