Every turn of concrete and glass leads to a magical surprise. My favorite was the Alex Da Corte exhibits which were full of color and textures.

The…read moreRales' have amassed a private post-War art collection worth more than $2 billion, and they have built a private museum to showcase their collection, spending more than $200 million to build the structures over the years. The property encompasses 360 acres and includes not only the two buildings housing the art, there's also an arrival center, a cafe/cafeteria, a patio cafe/coffee shop, and a beautiful woodland walking path, along which one can experience many outdoor sculptures and pieces of art. And all of this is open to the public for free. You are advised to schedule your visit in advance via the website, but walk-ups are accommodated during the winter months. If you arrive via the Ride-On bus (the Rales' worked with Montgomery County to ensure that a bus would be routed right to the front door of the arrival center), you are guaranteed entry. Students 12 and older (including college and graduate students), educators, active-duty military members, veterans, and museum professionals enjoy guaranteed entry for themselves plus one guest, 12 or older. You might read articles about Glenstone that disparage what the Rales' have created, but the reality is that they are doing good in the world: they are making world-class art available to the public for free. I've visited Glenstone about a half dozen times over the years. There are some permanent exhibits but the majority of the galleries rotate art from their massive collection. The cafe has great food. The grounds are quiet and beautiful. The staff are all unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. A visit to Glenstone is a gift to yourself.

    I visited this museum a couple months ago and it was an excellent experience more than I expected…read more Small yet so impactful on what Josiah Henson's history means to the state of Maryland and the country. Tickets were $12 a piece and you have to park a 1/2 a mile away across the street at a park then cross a busy street. My only suggestion for this part of the visit is to let visitors park at the daycare next door or the commercial building lot where there was no one on the weekend. (Saturday in particular no 1 was at either business) Both are on the same side as the museum and much safer to walk. Once I was at the museum, you watch a video of Josiah Hensons' history which was about 10-12 minutes. Then Ginger, the friendly front desk receptionist, takes you outside to the grounds of where Josiah and his family were enslaved. There's signage at each ground site and then you walk into the original house where everything felt surreal. Our tour guide Jessie had so much wealth of knowledge and was able to answer every question we had. We actually had the house to ourselves so it felt more personable as she guided us until the next group came in. You can take pictures of most inside. While I don't want to go into the particulars of what you see (nothing graphic), some things you just have to experience in person. I would highly recommend this hidden treasure to any local of Maryland. I would pass this place all the time and glad I finally carved time out to visit. What I thought in the beginning would be less then an hour turned into 2 1/2 hours of a phenomenal, educational visit. Thank you Ginger & Jessie! (We even bought a couple books after)

    Josiah Henson Museum & Park tells the story about the challenges and triumphs of Reverend Josiah…read moreHenson, enslaved in Maryland. This is one of the best museums in the DMV area that gives you an actual depiction of Josiah Henson's life from start to finish. Henson achievements have gone almost unnoticed due to being overshadowed by the popular novel, inspired by his life, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The visitor's center offers a 12-minute film. I recommend watching this movie 1st before moving into the plantation house and walking down the trail. The visitor's center has lots of information and touring guides to historical sites all over Maryland and they are FREE. And did I mention admission to the museum is free, however you are welcome to donate online or at the visitor's center. Things I learned: 1. Henson led approximately 120 people to freedom in Canada as a conductor on the Underground Railroad 2. Henson established a community for former slaves in Canada called the Dawn Settlement 3. Henson has his own autobiography, "The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada" written in 1849. 4. Henson successfully escaped from slavery with his wife and children in 1830. 5. Henson was a very handsome man, several high-resolution photos are on display at the museum, which counteract the not-so-kind propaganda that mockingly depicted him as old and feeble. What really makes this museum unique is the comic strip animation (that looks like the animation from The Boondocks), used to creatively tell his story from one room to the next. On the backside of the plantation home there is a well preserved out-house kitchen, where the meals were prepared, and there was a loft area where the kitchen staff could sleep and keep warm. Other interesting landmarks was a plot which was believed to be where he lived as the grounds manager of the property. Other artifacts and tools located inside the house. Maryland truly has a historical gem that does not get as much attention as other historical figures from this period. I truly encourage you to make this trip and discover the amazing life and legacy of Reverend Josiah Henson.
