So we took the kids on Friday to Rose Hill Manor Park in Frederick, Md.  What a nice place!  Our kids had a great time!  It was about and a 1 1/2-2 hour tour of the mansion-carriage house, ice house, a log cabin, blacksmith shop, and the manor.  Very hands on!  The kids could card wool, they were able to try weaving, they grated cinnamon sticks, and ground a sugar cube with a mortar & pestle.  They got to try on a few clothes that the kids wore and play with a few toys.  Jaden loved the little table with the little "baby-sized" dishes and spoons!  He just kept pretending to eat.  Was so cute!  We all really enjoyed it.  It was a nice family outing-relaxing and fun.

  1. I just love historic places and this sounds fun. I hope you got pictures. I have never carded wool. The tour sounds so great. Is it far from your home?
