Bus Trip to Merriweather Post Museum
The Dundalk Historical Society is sponsoring a bus trip to Merriweather Post Museum - the home of Merriweather Post - on Wednesday, May 21.
The trip, which costs $55 and
includes lunch (and a tip for the
driver), will depart for Washington
DC from the Dundalk American
Legion Hall, 3300 Dundalk Avenue, at 9 a.m., and will return at 3 or 4 pm.
After a short movie, we will tour the house. Each will be provided an audio guide for the house visit. Of special interest are the fabulous Faberge eggs from Imperialist Russia, as well as other artifacts bought following the fall of the Tsars.
You will have lunch in the Pavilion Café with a choice of menu items (choose when you sign up). In May, the gardens are beautiful, the Japanese Gardens in particular. If you have computer access, check out the info on their website: Hillwoodmuseum.org.
