This is in the process of being redone to better suit the public. Fantastic and cant wait to see the end result
Under Construction...my company is working very hard on improvements. Itll be great when done
A historical gem in Montgomery County. The house and grounds are only open on some weekends and special occassions. Visit the park's website for the schedule. The home belonged to a plantation owner who owned slaves including Josiah Henson. Rev. Henson was later able to escape with his family and he wrote about his experiences. Harriet Beecher Stowe based her famous work, Uncle Tom's Cabin, heavily on Rev. Henson's autobiography. A visit is a unique opportunity to see elements of the history of slavery, the underground railroad and a great figure from America's past who helped create tremendous positive change.
Enjoyed visiting the Josiah Henson's house. We must always remember whose shoulders we stand on. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Seeing the archeological dig was interesting also.
Wonderful hidden gem of Rockville. Great place to hear about the man Josiah Henson. From enslaved to Underground Railroad conductor to meeting the Queen of England and inspired the fictional classic Uncle Tom's Cabin.
