Tour of Evergreen House

A National Historic Landmark, Homewood is one of the best-surviving examples of Federal-period Palladian architecture in the nation. Built circa 1801 for members of Maryland’s prominent Carroll family, the house also was home to at least 25 enslaved individuals, including William and Rebecca Ross and their two children and Izadod and Cis Conner and six of their 13 children. Homewood is best experienced via our award-winning guided tour, which winds through the house’s 11 elaborately furnished rooms and tells the intertwined narratives of the Carroll, Conner, and Ross families. Admission $10 for Seniors. RSVP Not too late to join us!

For those of you who want to bike up, here’s the plan from Kurt.

Meet at the corner of Wolfe and Gough St with a leave time of 11:45.

The ride will be on slower roads, utilizing some of the Jones Falls Bike Lane. The ride is a 6.5 mile gradual UPHILL climb with a little over 500' in elevation gain. The ride up will take just under one hour. The total ride is 13 miles +/-.  

It is the riders responsibility to verify their bike is in good mechanical condition with properly inflated tires. Riders should have bike helmets, other recommended gear would be a water bottle, gloves, bike lock and sunglasses.
