Delightful because of the docents and volunteers and very educational. It is a small but beautiful place, modest yet powerful as an example of an important part of Montgomery and national history.

When yesterday very educational and interesting. So much history right at your door step.

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.

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. 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. 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.)

The doscents were really friendly and knowledgeable! I learned a lot about MD history the day I went.
