I was there during the pre-Christmas holidays; there was a wonderful Christmas tree exhibit in many rooms. I also peeked into the research center in the basement and enjoyed the antique grandfather clock collection as well. The building used to be an orphanage for girls and is in a beautifully preserved condition---it is like stepping back into time. I loved it. Lots of interesting information about Frederick County history.
The title sort of sums it up. The staff was very help and friendly but there just is not a lot to see here.
We really enjoyed walking the streets and browsing the shops. Some were very highly priced but had some really cute and unique things. Really enjoyed the select seconds thrift store. It was very reasonable and some great finds
The gentleman that was our guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. Frederick has so much history.
Title tells the story - Frederick has a rich history and there really isn't much to see at the Historical Society. They do have a decent collection of historical books, but a pretty skimpy array of displays and a surprisingly light map collection.On the brighter side, it is a nice building and the staff are very friendly. If you are looking for history, I suggest that you start in the nearby library.
My husband and I had such a wonderful time on the Civil War Mayhem Tour in Frederick, MD this evening. We strolled through the town and learned so much interesting history from tour guides Joe and Kristin. They were both so passionate about the subject and conveyed that through their stories. My husband and I love history and enjoyed this tour so much that we plan to come back and participate in several new tours that will be available like the architecture tour. Can't wait!!!! Thank you Joe and Kristin, you were the highlight of our evening!
Also has many fabulous workshops during the year. Well worth a visit.
I enjoyed getting the brief overview of Frederick and Frederick County.
Hisgtoric place and people at some places were very proud of it.. Ask around & visit the sites. I like Frederic, MD,.
The librarians at the Historical Society were nice enough to let me go through some very old original records to help me in my genealogy research. As a bonus, a docent offered a private tour of the museum. Lovely place, lovely people.
