Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, named for the U.S. Diplomat whose lands they once were, is a 560 acre state park and museum on the Patuxent River.
The park is notable for its wealth of archeological sites; 9,000 years of human history have been uncovered here, and there are excavations in progress on the land.
The museum has exhibits on Jefferson Patterson and the archeological finds that have taken place locally. An old barn contains exhibits about the War of 1812 and displays antique farm equipment.
In the park are walking, hiking, and biking trails, docks for canoes and kayaks, a walkway over the saltmarshes, and a recreated Indian village using local materials and built in traditional style.
