Since
squirrel_magnet has already recounted the end of our adventure of visiting the Homewood House Museum on the Johns Hopkins campus, I won't repeat that part. I'll just mention that although the "Fur, Feathers, and Fins: Pets in Early Maryland" exhibit was small, it was interesting; we enjoyed it, and talking with the tour guides (and interrupting one of them leading a group, to explain more than she knew about *why* Franklin stoves are better than plain old fireplaces for heating a room, and threw in a bit about Rumsford to boot.) In the gift shop, we bought several CDs of colonial-era music. There's going to be an interesting concert of Renaissance music at the house next month that we'd like to attend. Must investigate bus travel, for pete's sake.
