The doscents were really friendly and knowledgeable! I learned a lot about MD history the day I went.
Small, 10-15 minute stop unless 1) you come during open-cabin hours, or 2) you want to use the picnic tables on the neatly-mowed lawn. The informational plaques are well done and the cabin itself is well-maintained, giving a quick glimpse into the difficult history of African-Americans in the area. FYI - there were a lot of small insects.
Beautiful cabin and history lesson.
Try identifying a spring near the property that feeds Reddy Branch. (Hints: 1: it’s on the other side of the creek from the house! 2: you have to get on a path & be away from the mown lawn. 3: less than 50 yards from the house.)
This small site is notched out of Reddy Branch Stream Valley Park, which is fairly large. (“SVPs” are a Montgomery County euphemism for unmaintained, unadvertised publicly owned buffer zones.). There are some paths in the SVP roughly paralleling Brookeville Rd.
Small in size & operating hours, but big in perspective. Walk around the grounds. After exploring what we could of the house, my kids enjoyed exploring the nearby creek.
Interesting walk through back in time to the pioneer days n ways
