National Colonial Farm
The sheep will greet you as you walk up the path and maybe the barn cat will insist you rub its ears at this modest two-room farmhouse surrounded by tobacco and other crops. The house's architecture is unique to this part of Prince George's County: With two fireplaces and a few luxuries (at least for colonists) this may seem a fairly well-to-do place. But this house actually recalls a middling family of the 1770s. The farm is part of the larger Piscataway Park. Its trails lead to the Potomac River, where you can get a great view of George Washington's Mount Vernon directly across the river. Fishing is permitted here, too.
