Historic London Town & Gardens

We came during Maryland Day celebration and really enjoyed our visit. We'll come back on another nice weather day and hopefully the plants will be back to their full beauty after the winter months. There were great activities for the kids (dress up area, blocks, sound garden) and the adults (museum, buildings to explore, and great volunteers describing the history).

Beautiful hidden historic gem at the end of a long street in Edgewater. The buildings are amazingly reconstructed to be exactly as it must have once looked centuries ago. The history here is palpable. The fact that archeological finds are still being pried from the earth is amazing. The gardens--well, wow! Who knew that camellias bloomed in winter!! Obviously, horticultural enthusiasts may, but not me. Well kept and continually being managed and improved by the in-house horiculturist. The whole place was a very pleasant surprise, and with my membership I plan to visit often. I can't wait to visit the gardens in spring --- I heard the daffodils are everywhere!! (More photos to come)

Went here on a field trip with my son. The guide was very knowledgeable and the kids had a great time while learning about life in the colonial time period.

Really nice place to visit with beautiful gardens and informative museum. You learn quite a bit about the area and how things have developed the culture and the economy. Definitely worth the time and plan about two hours. Parking is very easy.

This is an actual hidden gem, tucked away at the back of a neighborhood in Edgewater. Painstakingly cared for, the grounds are a treat to walk through and there are constant staff engagement opportunities for learning and other events. I am told they host weddings also.
