Several weeks ago we checked off explored our first Summer Fun item - Hampton Mansion - a beautiful historic home with expansive gardens, including well-preserved Slave Quarters. This National Historic Site is less than 3 miles from our house, and completely free! A definite summer (or winter/spring/fall) must-see.
We explored the slave quarters first, then headed to the main house.
There are guided tours offered of the home which we will definitely need to do next time we visit. We then visited the gardens and contemplated why we can't seem to grow such beautiful flowers in our own yard at home.
It blew my mind that this exists in Towson - so much land and beauty tucked into a Towson neighborhood. - says the village idiot
