A few pics of Ellicott City, Maryland, spent a lot of time here with friends in my younger years; driving the infamous College Avenue, AKA "Seven Hills" nearby then hanging in the eclectic shops and antique stores that once lined Main Street.

Ladew Topiary Gardens, Monkton, Maryland. This is in a structure on the portico opposite a secret entrance into/out of the music room. I can never remember if the cards are set for Bridge or Rumy.

You can't visit the site where Harriet Tubman's father had his cabin. But you can visit the virtual dig that shows the artifacts Maryland has found there. It's pretty incredible. #harriettubman #Marylandhistory #Tubman #harriet #archaeology #Blackhistory

A Chesapeake Bay region staple steeped in African American history. Are you growing fish peppers in your #garden this year? #blackhistorymonth #marylandhistory #gardening
