Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum Visit

We visited the Jefferson Patterson Park kayak launch area, the re-created Indian Village and the barn in Calvert County.  The site located on the Patuxent River was involved in the war of 1812 Battle of St. Leonard Creek and has archeological evidence dating back to 7500 BC.  It was a fairly warm day and probably nice to be out on the water. We had a pleasant little picnic in the shade.  We have mostly visited during big events for the Celtic Festival, the New York Bee Gees and the hot air balloon festival, so it was different to see it quiet and peaceful.

This event was very well organized and they thought of everything.  There were even golf carts to help seniors get up the steep hill from the parking lot!
