THIS EVENT IS FREE!
Join Button Farm as we celebrate our annual Maryland Emancipation Day Event in commemoration of the day in 1864 when Maryland changed its constitution to abolish slavery six months before the end of the Civil War. The program will feature speakers, self-guided tours of the farm’s museum garden and animal pens. Snacks and cider provided!
A log cabin, to be reconstructed in this field in 2023-24, will serve as the focal point of our 1850s Farm.
Depicting the private lives of enslaved people, inside of their own communities, the Quarter experience will reveal African American practices and traditions in the years before freedom came.
