The road to the village is lined with trees and once you get there, you can walk the paths by the stream, go inside the mill and look at all the artifacts on display. Find out when they have their reenactments, this is worth going to. Not too far down the road is a old covered bridge which is cool to see. The buildings span the 18th through the 20th centuries and is one of the oldest villages in the US state of Maryland. Googling them 1st to find out whats is going on is a good idea, but if you don't, you'll still enjoy the trip.

Attended the weekend event for first time. Great for families or singles. Small area, not too much walking, you can see everything in a short time, if you want, or you can take longer.The re-enactors interacted with the crowd. After a showing of taking down the American flag from Ishmael Day's home, they asked the crowd where he went. Several kids pointed in different directions. The actors said to search the crowd, but they stopped at a marked line. After the brief re-enactment, the riders and horses interacted with the crowd by telling them the life of a soldier and his horse. Someone passed out apple slices, so the crowd could feed the horses, with permission from the rider. There is also a working blacksmith shop, the original Jerusalem mill, which can be toured. Also, artisans selling their wares, and particularly good was the pit beef, along with pork, turkey, ham, etc. Huge sandwiches for $7, and for $1 more you got chips & soda. You could eat in their shady picnic area. There, soldiers had tents set up and some had their families with them, all in costume, even the kids. Any would show you what they were doing and how they camped. There were numerous small talks going on frequently as to the life of the southern soldier.There are numerous walking paths, by the Gunpowder River and can even tour the restored covered bridge.The admission was $7 for adults, and $5 for kids & seniors. Under 5 were free. Well worth it and money goes for the cost of the re-enactments. Many local businesses help sponsor this and similar events.You can tour the mill when open and go on the walking paths at anytime for no fee.

I wish that I had been able to spend more time there. What a neat place. Beautiful place to walk, run or just hang out for the afternoon.

Best hiking trails in the Baltimore area and the village and mill are an added attraction to round it out. The summer concert season a great value and never a disappointment.

OK. There may not be literal flowers, but it is a great place to go to listen to the Little Gunpowder Falls and relax. Take a picnic lunch and forget the crazy world around you... and it's free. They do have really neat pay events throughout the year where history comes alive. Highly recommend you take a camera.

We hike the trails frequently as a family since they are not too difficult for the grandboys (under age of 5) and parents (over age of 70). Trail maps are always available. While the trails are usually busy with other hikers, it is still enjoyable. Trails are clearly marked and clean. Nice views of the stream and trees. We have spotted wildlife like deer, birds, snakes, turtles, fish, and spiders. The historical aspects of the mill are very educational. Volunteers dressed in period of time always make the stories interesting and FREE!! Parking may be somewhat challenging unless you know it is OK to park in the field next to the general store. Our car has been blocked in several times by others who tried to squeeze in to the marked parking lot.

Quaint little former mill village from the revolutionary war era to the early 1900s with costumed reenactors. Has about 4-5 restored historical buildings including the gristmill, general store, carpenter shop, blacksmith all along a nice stretch of the gunpowder. A half mile trail leads people to all of this as well as one of the few covered bridges left in MD. Reenactors are engaging , interesting and gear their talks to the age of the audience. Nice family outing for maybe 1-2 hours.

From rocking roll bands to orchestras, reenactment of military encampments, reenactment of early american life, you really need to visit and see it and learn from it.

Monthly concerts in the spring/summer and re-enactment camps/fairs in the summer and fall make this a great place to visit. Bring the dog and enjoy the walks near the water.
